McMaster isn’t bright enough to set policy. Mattis the never married General will strike a dramatic pose and say something scary sounding...before he advises Trump to just go along to get along. Tillerson is used to compromises... just look at the Boy Scouts with homosexuality.
Mattis hates Iran’s Hezbollah. 1/8 Beirut Marines. Don’t underestimate his logic and tactics in getting them. This “leak” could be a diversion, trap, or psy-op.
