“The only true counterweight to all of the hawkish interventionists in the administration is the commander in chief himself,” one former White House official said. “He’s surrounded himself with folks ten times more hawkish than he is himself.”

The guy in charge will do what he will do based on his own instincts and his own take on the situation and on his electoral situation.
