Obama is not interested in defeating ISIS. He just wants to appear to oppose it. He wants an Islamic caliphate across the Mid East.
Obama blows.
Martin Dempsey is marking time waiting for retirement ,he’ll say and do anything he’s told to do
I am shocked but not surprised. The POTUS is typically in pretty close contact with the smartest warriors and strategists in the world. My 8 year old son knows enough about tactics associated with Capture the Flag to see the ingorant flaw in Obama's abortion of a strategy. I guess the problem is Obama hates the military and anybody associated with it so he avoids and distrusts them. When someone says, "Mr. President, we need to stop the enemy's advance and put them on defense if we ever hope to hold or save ANY specific ground on the battlefield.", does the POTUS say, "No. We'll just defend these oil refineries so the enemy doesn't capture these."
Does he have a magic force field? Is he building fortifications and military runways at the oil refineries? Is he deploying armored divisions at the oil refineries? Are we deploying ground attack aircraft, support aircraft and assets to these oil refineries? No, of course not. He is going to hang a sign out front and post a message on twitter warning the enemy to stay away from the refineries. The sign hangers and diplomats should expect to be slaughtered on account of the signs being printed in the wrong language.
A political move. Democrats still run the show, and Democrats are politics 7 days a week 52 weeks a year. They are NOT going to war even though they are. The illusion we are supposed to have is that there is peace in our time with the Obama administration, and when we toss the Democrats in 2016 the warmongers of the Right will have us at war again.
They are right as they are deliberately leaving us no alternative as war is the only way we can clean up the Democrat/Obama mess.
The JV team is in the White House
Gen. Dempsey, you know very well we can do both, and much more to neutralize the threat. Apparently Gen. Dempsey, you are not giving your CIC proper council. If you are, may I suggest you resign? Do not lose your honor too.
