Reply #63: well, it looked like he was aware of many of the potential problems

so why did the messes happen anyway? Did he fail to follow through due a lack of action or a lack of authority? If he lacked authority, who overuled him... when... and why? And were they deliberately acting against him or merely being inactive against him?

on edit: I must admit, those clips raised my opinion of him a fair bit. At the very least, he's capable of retaining summary information given to him by capable underlings. Whether he was merely spouting it without comprehending it was not 100% clear from what I saw.
