Stevenson’s army, November 21
– To me, the most significant foreign policy exchange in the Democratic presidential candidate debate was the widespread sharp criticism of Saudi Arabia. I don’t see how any of them can back off that if elected.
– Meanwhile, the US is sending more troops to Saudi Arabia.
– But DOD denies planning troop withdrawals from South Korea.
– FP article raises a concern I share — the vulnerability of US forces given advanced technology available to others.
– The docudrama about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s “torture report” opens in theaters and will stream after Thanksgiving. RollCall tells a story about how the key staffer found his way in DC through networking. Good lessons for Hill job seekers.
