Rifts have emerged between U.S. military leaders and the Obama White House on Washington’s future role in Libya, with the generals questioning the White House’s argument that the recent success against Islamic State shows Libya can go it alone in the fight against terrorism, without direct U.S. assistance.
Marine Corps Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, the White House’s pick to lead U.S. Africa Command, called for increased American military action in Libya to ensure the Islamic State, or ISIS or ISIL, does not reconstitute itself in the country as pressure ramps up against its strongholds in Iraq and Syria.
Gen. Waldhauser told a Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing Tuesday that U.S. military planners were drafting up battle plans for airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Libya, Reuters reported. The fledgling unity government in Tripoli has enjoyed surprising success in recent weeks in a campaign against the Islamic State’s stronghold in the coastal city of Sirte.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What strategy would be? Importing as many of these savages as possible?
They are not only challenging it but defyng his orders and are doing what is best. Glad to see this story come out finally.
Will bammy fire them? Trump is our only hope. Either he or The Queen of America will be elected. If she is elected, it’s more of this crap. If Trump, he brings back the generals that bammy fired.
If Clinton is Elected ,the Clinton Foundation will become the Newest Government Agency
Exactly - what strategy? At least a few of them have located their balls...
Nope he won’t because he can’t. That’s one reason he is going bananas right now.
Is this the only case? Have there been other isolated cases in the last few months on the battle field?
are you saying US commanders have finally seen the folly in bombing empty desert?
or have they finally found enough sack to tell the emperor that indeed, there are no ‘evil doers’ in the empty desert
They have finally figured out that “bammy’ will fire them anyway.
I anticipate several “careers” will be “extinguished” in the very near future and it won’t be odumbo’s.

Lots more.
I pray God provides a General and his men to deal with the Obamaci should those scumbags pull the squatter frammis.
Yes, he is importing them into the US refusing to tell certain Governors where they are, what if any background checks have been done etc. We know these mostly male Syrians are not candidates for the Pledge of Allegiance, nor will they assimilate. Jefferson, John Adams, plus his son and many if not all of those who shaped this nation damn sure knew Muslims should not be here period.
This the same military leaders that believe in non-jihadi Syrian opposition? The same ones that were all in for a new cold war? The same ones for the attack on Libya in the first place? The same ones that wanted women and trannys in the infantry?
Sorry, not buying it. I cannot think of a single General I respect after Schwartzkopf. Not one.
it’s about time they turned on this POS , I have been encouraging them for years ....
In addition to Obama , every single Armed Forces officer , in every Service and at every grade , should take stock and come out STRONGLY against any possibility of a ‘president’ Hillary . DON’T WAIT ! Our Military need to stop be sheep , easily led and commanded by those totally unworthy to command them . Forget it ! Stand up ! STATE YOUR PREFS !
Our country depends upon it . They simply cannot sit there sheepishly , obediently , awaiting orders and commands from on high . Exsurgemous !
Viva la Difference! Salute!
A lot of military interests are going to be scurrying for a good spot in Pres. Trumps admin.
