As he laid out his strategy to combat the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria, President Obama rejected the best military advice of his top military commander in the Middle East.

AGAIN! Obviously, this has worked out so well for him ALL the times he’s done this before.
God help our military over the next two years, something tells me they are about to be in for an even more difficult time under this phony.
When looking at every situation and subsequent decision that involves Obama, one must first understand his motivation. What will yield him the greatest amount of donations from his billionaire friends? What will secure the votes for a small group that can swing a congressional district? What will motivate a group in a state that will swing enough people to vote for the leftist senatorial candidate.
Those factors will always be his motivation regardless of the outcome for the rest of us. They just wanted to secure votes or the extra dollars, who cares what the military and international implications are.
Of course he did.
I believe that Obama wants a "Little Big Horn" incident to justify surrender.
BS.
We have forces on the ground there now and will have more in the future.

The Kenyan anti-Christ doesn’t want to actually do any serious harm to his co-religionists in ISIS.
Islam must be destroyed.
Cause obammy is the smartest son of a bitch in the room on any subject. Just ask him, he’ll tell ya.
What a dumb ass.
Iraqi Security Forces, the Iraqi air force, and a billion adherents of the “religion of peace” should be able to eliminate these 31,000 (current estimate) “hijackers” of the “religion of peace”.

Embedding US troops in small numbers with Iraqi forces. Yup. That is comforting. How did that US General die in Afghanistan?
Oh, and make sure we tell everybody what we are doing.
Of course he does he’s one of them.
Obama’s goal and that of best military advice of his top military commander in the Middle East are TWO different things.
He wanted to manage IS, not destroy. Like he’s been ‘community organize’-ing since his adulthood.
Of course he did. You don't really think nobama wants to destroy the Caliphate, do you?
If nobama was really serious, he would have followed the military's advice and, in addition, established new ROEs that have minimal requirements.
Until he does that, he's just playing around.
Don’t General Dempsey and the JCs realize that obama is smarter than they are? Why, he’s smarter than all subject-matter-experts, in all fields!
Our Glorious Leader is omniscient and has no need for the advice of mere mortals.

If I recall correctly this is how we got started in Vietnam.
"Either restore the proper Allah or get ready for a holy war."
"What's Islam got to do with it?" Obama
