And while we were listening to the administration and many of us just didn't think they were competent or smart, but there was always that voice in the back of one's head that there are enough smart people in the military and intelligence and State department surrounding them that at least they should be getting good advice even if they make poor choices... now it looks like a den of vipers driven by ego rather than thoughtful deliberation about what is best for the Country.

Now multiply that by a thousand, strip away any competent people surrounding them and here we are.
