Lt. Col. Oliver North: Someone Needs to Tell The Truth, Obama's ISIS Strategy is Mission Impossible

Fox News military analyst Lt. Col. Oliver North made an appearance on The Kelly File last night to assess President Obama's latest strategy against ISIS. His message is a discouraging one, saying what President Obama is asking the military do is mission impossible and that it's time someone step up and be honest about it.

"In my military mind what you have is Operation Enduring Confusion. You have a President who cannot make up his mind about what he wants," North said. "Megyn, I've spent my whole life hanging around the U.S. military. I've been on plenty of times with you from Iraq and other places. I've spent my life with these young guys. I'm waiting for the general or admiral who will stand up on his hind feet and say this is mission impossible. Given the constraints that you've [Obama] given we cannot accomplish the objective you have set. It is impossible to do."

"Somebody has to tell the truth," he continued. "Some general or admiral at the Pentagon or somewhere else in Central Command has got to stand up and say, 'The mission we've been given we can do but we can't with the constraints you've places upon us.'"

This isn't the first time Obama has been at odds with U.S. Generals and based on history, those who speak out against him have a high chance of being fired.

Easily explained by the fact 0bama never intended to actually fight a war, and therefore never actually intended to win.

It’s just for show.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Obama’s generals are his props.

[Red Steel]

Like I said before, Obama wants ISIS to succeed.

[Uncle Miltie]

Are the Generals Wussies, or will one put his career on the line for the Truth?

[henkster]

Consistent with malignant narcissistic behavior. 0bama sees people as things, not people. Toys to get down from the shelf and play with, and when he’s tired of playing with them, he puts them back on the shelf.

Or throws them away.

All of the revolutions in the middle east during Obama’s Regime that he has backed have all been intimately linked with the Muslim Brotherhood....

The one that wasn’t a MB sponsored revolution, the Iranian Green Revolution Obama was deafeningly silent on...

Obama is a Sympathizer/Puppet/Apologist to the Muslim Bortherhood! PERIOD!

Operation Enduring Confusion

Great line

[Iron Munro]

King Jug-Ears Strategery:

1. - Reduce the size, power and effectiveness of the USA military

2. - Arm Islamic terrorists with the latest American weapons as much as possible

3. - Scrape by until January, 2017 with his meaningless speeches and empty promises

4. - Dump the entire mess on his successor

[Old Yeller]

O’Hammad wants ISIS to thrive.

[caligatrux]

This is not a military campaign. It is not military warfare. It is not about military strategy, objectives or tactics. It has little to do with anything military-related with the tragic exception that it will be paid for entirely in military blood.

It is a political stunt, pure and simple. It has political objectives -- and not even foreign political objectives, only domestic political objectives. Military analysis does not apply.

Criticism from a military perspective is simply irrelevant to the Oministration. Just like other inconvenient and trite notions like our individual rights and liberties under the US Constitution.

Ollie North is dead on the mark, thanks for posting, Kas.

OLIVER NORTH PING!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Think it’s bad now? Just wait until AFTER the November election when Obama orders a stand down on airstrikes. Obama has been ‘out to lunch’ for YEARS as ISIS marched long convoys out of Syria and did NOTHING. He was ‘out to lunch’ during Benghazi too! He was raised a Muslim and always will be. It must really tear at his soul to PRETEND to be fighting ISIS with airstrikes just to help his constituents get through this election.

[depressed in 06]

OdumBO’s ISIS strategy is drop a few bombs while ISIS hunkers down out of sight, while there are no boots on the ground to root them out. zerO declares victory and takes his marbles home to great sycophantic fare. ISIS comes out to resume where they left off. Now, ObOzO can continue his ISIL strategy of using drones on Israel.

Okay, I know this is wishful thinking on my part, but imagine the impact if the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff were to call a press conference, and announced their resignations over the way they've been completely handcuffed and constantly ignored or overruled by Obama. It would be a story far too big for the mainstream media to gloss over.

I don't know if you have been paying attention or not, because Obama cleaned house in the military brass and kicked out anyone with a spine.

Also, the President and the next Democrat party candidate for President let an American ambassador and three other Americans be tortured and murdered cause they didn't like the optics of getting involved, and the "mainstream media" has blamed the entire event on the Republicans as a political stunt.

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are streaming across our border and fundamentally altering every single phase of American life, including the fundamental liberties guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution, and the "mass media" is only upset that the Administration won't let them take enough pictures of it.

The "mainstream media" is just Obama's PR Department. Even if all the Joint Chiefs resigned, they'd just blame it on Bush!

Obama could get caught in bed with a dead tranny, a live 12 year old boy and a two-headed alien from planet Xenror-5 and the only thing the "mainstream media" would be doing the next day would be fawning over his "virility" and sexual prowess!

[I want the USA back]

It’s not meant to be successful. It is meant to appease the American people, and reassure the towelhead headchoppers that they really have nothing to worry about from imam0bama.

[NonValueAdded]

What was it they said today ... Hagel and dumpster ... that the options for something have been presented to Øbama and “he’s thinking about it?”

[Kaslin]

This is supposed to appease the American people? Where are you getting that idea? *rme*

[Kaslin]

I know and It gave me the idea for these
