Stevenson’s army, afternoon edition

Why wait til morning when there are several really good articles to share?
– Politico says national security officials were blindsided by Trump’s Syria decision.
– Military author Mark Bowden found military officers troubled by Trump’s policies and behavior even before Syria.
-Here’s a chapter on Syria 2013 by former NSA Susan Rice.
-Peter Beinart reviews the Rice, Power, and Rhodes memoirs.
-Just Security has a primer on leaking to Congress.
– I also found interesting this piece on China at the UN.
