Stevenson’s army, November 5
– African militaries embrace coups.
– Leahy says GOP threatens year-long CR.
– Administration approves first, big arms sale to Saudi Arabia.
Misleading reporting: I noticed a lot of attention to the high “wrong track” polling numbers as explanations of political developments. Not significant any more, if they ever were. There have been only 3 times in the last 50 years when a majority DIDN’T say US was on the “wrong track.”
My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
