So is Mattis really being groomed for a role in military tribunals as Q2637 seems to suggest or was Q2637 an example of “disinformation is necessary”? A lot of bad stuff about Mattis’s character seems to be coming out from all quarters over the last 24 hours. I always felt Kelly was a white hat playing the role of a black hat. Even Nikki Haley’s report that he and Tillerson made some comments to her about POTUS’s unfitness struck me as probably a sting on his part to see if swamp creature Haley would take the bait. But with his recent defense of Mattis, who can say? At this point all I can say is if we’re witnessing disinfo, then team Q is doing a damn good of it.
I think Mattis is smart in some ways and stupid in most. I think he’s exposed himself with his recent op-ed.
Kelly is bad as well. Just because you’re a Marine doesn’t mean you’re not a dumbass. Value his difference.
