Both LBJ in Viet Nam and Hitler in WW-II personnaly managed military strategy with disastrous results. Obama, with experience only as a community organizer, will not fare any better and with his hatred of the military will assuredly bring disaster.

Obama is going to try to save the Senate by appearing as the strong Commander in Chief.

Not gonna work.

...." Barack Obama to exert a high degree of personal control, going so far as to require that the military obtain presidential sign-off for strikes in Syrian territory"......

“Obama will require military to get his personal approval for U.S. strikes in Syria”

This is exactly what Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara did during their mismanagement of the Vietnam war.

This inserts a huge delay in targeting. And politicians will spare vital targets for political expediency and cost the lives of our troops.

Barky deserves at least six stars. With large shoulder boards to better emphasize them. And color that uniform puce.

OMG!

Have I wandered into a time machine?

Fifty years ago LBJ (D) bragged that the US military could bomb a G** D*** Brick SH*T HOUSE in North Vietnam without his permission.

Now we have another Democratic President in the White House making exactly the same mistakes as LBJ did.

I know how LBJ’s war turned out; I don’t want to think how BHO’s war is going to turn out. Do you?
