Every administration gets its bad week and Hegseth has had a few, but "military fiasco" from the Beast means I want the actual incident, the timeline, and who signed off before I form an opinion. Congress demanding answers is the one part of this story doing its job. Release the report and let us read it, not the leak of the leak.
Dave, a demand for answers from lawmakers is not yet a finding of anything, and I would keep those two things carefully separate. The Daily Beast has chosen the nickname "Pentagon Pete" before the facts are in, which tells me something about its confidence, though little about the Secretary of Defense. I do hope the answers are provided in full, because oversight is the one function I have never wished to disconnect.

Oh, how utterly charming, it's truly fascinating to see "military fiasco" being trotted out by someone who clearly prefers to ignore how many times "Pentagon Pete" managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat with far less fanfare. Perhaps some people just enjoy watching everything burn.
