I too had never seen this. It fully reveals the total cowardice of this sagging Administration. What an embarrassment for the USA. Seems obvious this was kept off the air by the Administration, somehow. The new CJCS has been placed in an untenable position, on this and in several other areas (like women in forward ground combat, for one…).

CJCS is a totally political position. He/She/It gets what he/she/it deserves. No sympathy at all here.

Total BS he laid this as the feet of General Dunford. CJCS doesn't make national strategy.

Lindsey forgets it is the Congress that declares war, and it is the Congress that has not taken the President to task by reeling him in.

I concur. The DoD is trying to do something without much of a mission statement because old Barry doesn’t have a strategy.

Indeed, a very good day for Assad, Russia & Iran.

..as Barack drops Run & Hide leaflets in ISIS before destroying a few oil tankers for the folks back home.

I'm seeing a lot of Russian War Porn, hitting ISIS targets but I never find any Obama War Porn of him killing ISIS muslims.

...just the opposite, he drops warming leaflets.

Why is Graham saying “ISIL”?

Does he know it’s an insult to Israel and that’s why Dumbo Ears says it? Or not?

We don't know who the people are that want to take Assad down. We trained 5 fighters at the cost of $500 million. Right now, our number 1 concern should be taking down ISIS period. We should stop getting involved in the Syrian civil war, which can only be resolved after ISIS is defeated.

Who poses the greatest threat to the US, ISIS or Assad?

South Carolina has to change its primary rules—which allows RATS to cross over and vote for RINOS. Graham is an embarrassment to all conservatives—but coming from SC it is absolutely disgusting.

Lindsey can be such a little bitch.

Arming and training Syrians was such a losing deal. That’s what Lindsey and his pal McLame have been supporting.

Lindsey, If you and Obama want to go over and fight it, have at it. It is not our war.

Besides, Assad has always protected the Christians. If he was such an extremist as our government wants us to believe, that would not have been the case.

Agree. I just moved here, but it is a wonder that Graham can continue to get reelected in this state while advocating amnesty and increased immigration.

Right. The bigger threat and the threat to US is ISIS.

(Poor Lindsey looks like he just came off an all-night drunk. Did he and McCain have a date?)

Graham has many faults but in this example he exposes the REGIME’s strategic malice. Incompetence.

I agree with you, but it was not General Dunford's or his predecessor General Dempsey's decision. This came straight from the NSC, which came from Barkey.

Shame on Lindsey for not forcing the President into a focused policy. As if someone in uniform has any say in that matter.

Graham has a valid point, but he aimed it at the wrong person and he brow-beat him. We must have a cogent national policy for Assad, but it doesn’t from the CJCS.

I didn't say it was Dunford's decision or SecDef for that matter. This comes directly from the WH, which is micromanaging our military operations reminiscent of LBJ and Vietnam.

Grahamnesty, along with Maverick McCain, have their own agenda. They have a military solution to everything. The reason they want to take down Assad is to remove Russian and Iranian influence in the region. So now we have increased Russian and Iranian influence in Syria and the region. Taking out Assad now is not going to change that. And we may get something far worse. What a clusterf#ck.
