American Thinker ^ | September 23, 2014 | Allan J. Favish

There is good reason to believe that President Barack Obama will not conduct an effective battle against the Islamic State. As Townhall’s Katie Pavlich explains, several generals have stated that his current plan will not accomplish his stated goal, and he has consistently rejected sound military advice regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you know what I mean.

No.

I would not follow him here or there,

I would not follow him anywhere.

Why follow a man who isn’t coming to the battlefield? To literally follow Obama is deserting.

How can he be followed?

The Won “leads from behind”.

How long did it take him to topple Egypt and Libya, our two best allies - outside of Israel = in the ME?

Our friends are his enemies - and vice versa

Were he in front of me and running towards the enemy, I might head along to see what happens to him out of morbid curiosity.

No. I would want him and his entire administration held incommunicado inside an isolated sound-proof space until the shooting is done. If there is to be conflict, let the military run it wire to wire.

Would you do everything you could to stop your son or daughter from joining the armed forces as long as Obama is Commander-In-Chief?

Hmmm. What would be the chance of him surviving a month were he a green LT. during VN? Which of course was over by the time he was old enough to regsiter for the draft. Had it not been over he said he probably would have joined the military. Uh, yeah, I ain’t buyin’ that happy crappy.

You can’t follow someone who “leads from behind”.

I remember reading the comments of a British officer who was describing a command/leadership program and the outcomes for candidates under consideration.

One candidate was especially ill-qualified and scored so badly that the officers’ unanimity in failing him was remarkable.

One said: ‘I can hardly see men following this officer into battle but if so, they’d only be doing it out of curiosity.

I wonder if the idiots who voted for “O” have their curiosity satisfied by now

I think he would have called artillery down on his own position.
