How long until this pattern of communication breaking down in the downwards direction from the admin to CENTCOM induces a reciprocal failure in communication upwards from CENTCOM to the admin?

Did communications actually break down or are they just being all "oops, the bodycam was off, silly me" because "yeah, we totally knew about it" would be bad for their relationship with Qatar?

I believe wholeheartedly that these "breakdowns" are just manufactured deniability. Someone knew about this, or at least knew that there was something they didn't know about and didn't want to know about. I think it benefits the US immensely to have bad things happen to middle eastern states that she's not directly responsible for or even provably aware of, which is why we keep buying bombs for the guy who is continually bombing several middle eastern states at once then not asking what they're gonna do with the bombs.
