Stevenson’s army, September 18

– NYT details the analysis of the attack on Saudi oil facilities. DOD is preparing a report — but how much can be revealed without divulging intelligence sources and methods?
– David Sanger notes that Trump faces a credibility gap with much of the rest of the world.
– It’s significant that many Senate Republicans urge caution and diplomacy, not military action. Except for Lindsey Graham, who now has a tweet war with Trump.
– I like what I see in new CFR report on how to maintain our technological edge.
