But I really can't see that the buffoon has to make a point of taking personal credit.
Operations against terrorist outfits are part of why the US has a military presence in the middle east.
It doesn't need a buffoon to say "pull the trigger".
If they get intel they should be quite capable of carrying out a mission without being told.
But if he has gotten personally involved it makes me all the more suspicious that this is part of the trade off with Erdogan so as the buffoon can play it up and change his horror news cycle for a day or two.
