Top brass crush career of Army officer who warned of jihadists
Washington Times ^ | April 28, 2013 | Rowan Scarborough

The Pentagon’s top brass has dealt another blow to a decorated Army officer who was fired last year as a war college instructor because of his teachings about radical Islam, his attorney told The Washington Times.

A four-star general’s rejection of Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley for consideration for command of a combat battalion likely means the end of a promising Army career of an armor officer who was decorated for valor in Iraq and received glowing evaluations.

Last year, Col. Dooley underwent an Army command selection board review after he was transferred from the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va., to a weapons integration unit at Fort Eustis, Va.

The review board, comprising three generals and two colonels, voted to keep Col. Dooley as a candidate for battalion commander, his attorney, Richard Thompson, told The Times.

The board, however, was overruled by Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, then the Army’s vice chief and now chief of U.S. Central Command. He ordered Col. Dooley’s name removed from the candidates list, said Mr. Thompson, who added that he had read the “official use only” memo.

News of Col. Dooley’s setback has emerged as some researchers of radical Islam are criticizing the Obama administration for downplaying the Islamic connection in a string of attempted and successful terrorist attacks, including the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15.

Mr. Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center in Michigan, said the blame for Col. Dooley’s...

Col. Dooley’s downfall began in October 2011 with a letter sent by 57 American Islamic organizations to John O. Brennan, then President Obama’s counterterrorism adviser and now CIA director.

The groups, which include two tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, which calls for global Islamic law, demanded that the government scrub its teaching on Islam. The White House complied...

And did anyone in congress stop this or even question it?

No.

Eventually people have to wake up. Likely when it’s too late. But they will.

I would like the top brass to point out for us for the record what religion and belief the Boston Bombers espouse.

Some background about the un-American traitors that are running the military and the entire administration....COWARDS!!!.

Can It All Be Coincidence?

Soldier tries to warn of the dangers of Islam!

Three Star General - Muslim Influence has penetrated Pentagon

CIA Hosting Muslim Terrorists!

Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrates the White House!

Remember what Eric Nordstrom said in a Congressional hearing Oct 10, 2012 …."The Taliban is on the inside of the building"

This has been Obama's goal with the military.

This is evidence of how successful he has been at moving around the top brass until he has now in place a team that shares his affection for our enemy.

We are no longer merely incapable of naming our enemy...it is now illegal to do so.

It seems more and more that 9-11 really DID kill us.

“Islamophobia” invented.
Sodomy made legal nationwide.
Same-sex “marriage” being foisted on us for the first time.
“Hate-crime” laws extending to more contrived groups.
Push for more and more restrictive gun laws.
Expansion into government-run health care, by Bush and beyond.

Tell me how we’ve improved since the attack? (Holding ground isn’t improvement.)

The senior service colleges are supposed to be bastions of academic freedom, encouraging the next generation of senior leaders to think outside the box.

This isn't just an attack on one officer's career, it's an attack on the officer corps and the imposition of an extreme form of political correctness.

In the face of the Boston bombing and Ft. Hood murders. This regime is so evil.

"But after 18 years of hard work, family sacrifice, six deployments and outstanding officer evaluations, Matt’s dream was shattered by Gen. Dempsey."

I hope he at least gets his 20 in for a retirement pension. After that, Foxnews should have him on speed dial to put him on for some future terrorist event so he can say, "I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so"...

My hope and prayer is that people within ALL of the government agencies and departments - DOD, CIA, FBI, DHS, etc - realize exactly what it means to have a foreign enemy combatant in our White House, who just a year after he took office felt a need to explain privately to the Egyptian ambassador why he hadn’t yet implemented the “Muslim agenda”. Obama said the Muslim world needed to be patient with him because he had to get Obamacare passed first and then he would focus on the “Muslim agenda” which he supports because he was and still is a Muslim.

Since it can’t be said in the military, I’ll say it here: the agenda that all Muslim sects agree on is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia. And Obama HAS been working on that agenda very hard - as evidenced not only by the arming of our enemies, Michelle Obama’s yukking it up with Osama Bin Laden’s son Hamza at the hospital after a vigilant citizen tackled him at the Boston bombing and before he was jetted away to make sure the CIA didn’t actually capture him, etc... but also within the US government itself - as we see in this instance as well as others.

Obamacare itself is now considered a “tax” that applies to non-Muslims but not Muslims who give their “charity” to an shariah-compliant Muslim organization that calls itself a health cooperative. IOW, the subjection tax for infidels - codified into law already.

Here is how it works: General Austin was advised by either the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or Obama that he remove LtCol Dooley’s name from the command selection list, OR General Austin himself would be out of a job and the Army. General Austin chose not to do the honorable thing.
