Even his victory lap is a disgrace and humiliation for the US.

The word is the operation was highly risky and required multiple factors to coincide to offer good chance of greatest success. If it is executed half cocked and failed it would prejudice chances of success of many future operations. The operation had been contemplated since early summer, but was called off several times because conditions are not in impact to ensure success. The condition is still not in place to ensure success, but the Delta force was compelled to execute this operation now because trump's surprise withdrawal precluded the possibility of doing it later at a better time.
In other words, Trump did everything to make the operation fail, by for example effectively surrendering to the czarist Russia and the ottoman empire a century after both of these anachronistic entities when extinct, but the Delta force succeeded anyway, and now it is he, not the Delta force, that is taking a victory lap.
You preferred Jimmy Carter's way? One big overblown clusterfuck?
Perfect = objective achieved - zero frendly casualties.
The president has virtually no input into the planning and execution of military operations like this. The failure of Eagle Claw is a systemic failure of the US Military, and in no way any fault of Jimmy Carter's. The success of this operation is the success of the US Military and in absofuckinglutely no way a credit to the trumpster.
The only roles the President of the US has to play, and upon which he is to be rightly judged, are:
1. Prepare the best diplomatic background for the operation: Carter - yes. Trump -yeah, right, it's desperate parting shot by the military to salvage something as the president of the US impulsively capitulated to the ottoman empire and told the armed forces to flee the field.
2. Deliberate carefully and consider all possible ramification in deciding to proceed: Carter - by all evidence - yes. Trump - Are you fucking kidding me?
3. Promote necessary cooperation between the military arm and other government agencies involved: Carter - yes. Trump - Are you fucking KIDDING me?
4. Present the[i] most favorable justification and description to the world [/i]if it succeeded: Carter - N/A. Trump - if gloating crassly like a uneducated playground bully is "most favorable".
5. Take responsibility if it failed: Carter - Yes. Trump - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Sorry, Eagle Claw failed, but in the wreckage, Carter showed himself to be an infinitely greater President, to say nothing of the greater man, than the loofah faced shit gibbon.
