the last segment they talked about Trump replacing many Pentagon officials today one of whom was nominated and withdrew his nomination, some of them passed over by Senate Republicans. David Plouffe, Courtney Kube, and Claire McCaskill were on and all were very alarmed. Kube (sp? don't know if I've got that right) mentioned issues with Syria, Iran, and withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Don't know what to think here. Coupled with Pompeo's smooth transition to Trump2 administration? Ginning something up to remain in power and cancelling the election? With Pompeo it's always about Iran.
Buckle up folks.
