MATTIS OUT: Mattis “retiring” in February, Trump says; Update: Resigned in protest?
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): There have been rumors that Mattis was going to leave at the end of the year for months, but nonetheless it’s hard not to connect this with the Syrian withdrawal. I’m agnostic on that, as I’ve said, but I’m entirely willing to agree that Mattis’s opinion is better than mine.
ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Here’s Mattis’s resignation letter. He clearly disagrees with Trump on the direction things are going, policywise.
