"Apoplectic"? Well, maybe, but I'd be more impressed if just one of those generals had the spine to resign his commission and speak out publicly...

Better yet, I’d be more impressed if they were to gird their loins and collectively “encourage” him to resign for the good of the country.

That’s not the headline.

Generals think war solves everything. The country needs an Eisenhower not a continuous series of generals who want their turn.

Obama isn’t dithering. He’s just carrying out his “Caliphate Strategy”. Once a Sunni, always a Sunni. Is there any doubt that having a Sunni President of the United States has encouraged al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas and Iran?

This is just business as usual.

The headline says “Military Commanders,” or at least it does now.

However, I think the end result is about the same.

Nobody should resign.

Just speak publicly and force POTUS to fire.

Obama is simply conflicted about ordering infidel white Christian pilots to bomb dark skinned barbaric Muslim jihadists. If Obama unleashed the firepower of the 6th Fleet and American air units in the area, it would make short work of the IS jihadists.

Eisenhower had his turn, I believe it was called Overlord.

Hasn't Obama been getting rid of Armed Service Personnel who he believes do not support his way of thinking?

The fact that his generals are "apoplectic" may really be a good sign, and/or another reason to get rid of more generals.

Unfortunately, Site Y was closed due to Sequestration, so Col Broderick will have to figure out something else.

We don't want good people resigning ... That's a mistake.

Obama will replace them with people who hate this country.

All good people in the military and government need to bite their lips and stay put... This might get a lot worse... and the last thing we need is more Obama sycophants in positrons of power.STOP making that suggestion Clioman. STOP.

You nailed it — the man is obsessesed with Islam and has been using our military to pick off any leaders who stand in the way of it.

Obama’s handler is Valerie Jarrett. Hillary’s handler is Huma Abedin. Huma’s husband Anthony Weiner was supposed to be Mayor of NYC until he hit the eject button (accidentally or intentionally).

They’re all controlled by the MB.
