They have too much going on. Trump isn't known to do things "on script," so him not having the estimate at his fingertips is a stupid thing to focus on.

As for my concerns prior, it looks like the administration knows what's up. I think it was Mattis (old white dues sometimes look alike to me) said in a televised interview I caught a clip of that they won't even be able to detain, just providing support. So my concerns on that front are cleared up. I still think this is the wrong move, but that is a difference of opinion in policy.

I agree that focusing on Trump not know even an estimate is stupid...that's why I'm not focusing on it.  

Trump probably doesn't know ANYTHING about what is happening anyway.

It's just one more thing he'd be clueless about.

I saw a tweet last night (that I can't find now) that said they would not be armed?  Does this sound like a good idea/use of resources at all or more like red meat to his scared base?
