I pray he does not kill soldiers in the name of politics.
putting american troops in peril, not in the interests of national security, but to protect his ass in an election. same thing he did in afghanistan for years.
basically, he’s now trying to win back the victory that george bush won, but obama promptly unwon.
Obama’s ‘October Surprise’ in Iraq ,air dropping pallets of cash from unmarked cargo planes to ISIS
Same as usual under the Obama administration. Everything is done (or not) for a political reason, or to advance globalism.
Obama and Hillary “using” our military for their own gain and getting how many killed and maimed for what?
How many will die because of Zero’s $$$ dump in Iran? How many IED’s did Zero pay for by giving our taxpayer money to our enemies?
Gee, as I recall we already did that back in ‘06. Wonder how it all slipped away and needed a do-over?
Just like the State Department insists that the $400 million payment to Iran had nothing to do with ransom for prisoners. Just another coincidence. Move on now, nothing to see here.
Frankly, I don’t want any more of our men and women’s lives given away in that shithole. Screw them. It has cost us enough and the Democrats throw their lives away like chattel.
Typical Dem behavior. ANYTHING and ANYONE will be sacrificed to gain/retain political power.
We now have the bombing in Libya that is barely being covered by the MSM and Reps in Congress are not demanding that more information be provided as to why we are doing it. The bombing is proof positive that ISIS has spread in North Africa, thanks to our assistance.
How about we tell the enemy our attack plans and the timing of them while we are working on some political points to influence an election.
What’s that you say? It might jeopardize and operation and/or get American soldiers killed? How’s that, dear citizen? We are doing this so that we can win an election for you.
(This doesn’t even address the absurdity of being able to “schedule” a victory.
Could backfire. The anti war leftists would go ballistic and the general population would be revolted by more flag draped caskets coming home in a no win war
This is Politico’s Mark Perry thinking with the mind of a rational historian like a rational American politician. He needs to think Machiavelli or Nero.
Mosul? The risk vs benefit just isn’t there for Obama.
If he wants to influence this election, he has innumerable, unthinkable means to do so.
IF we attack “ISIS strongholds” in October, any ISIS leaders of significance will be long gone by then.
Probably all in sympathetic mosques in London, Paris, Bonn.... Minneapolis...Alexandria, VA...
Planning & executing their next “non-Islamic” atrocity.
I have very little faith in Obama’s capability as CIC.
He will surely try and micromanage this, screw it up, and get a bunch of our guys killed.
Where’s all those “no more war” pussies now?
Why would taking Mosul be a boost for Hillary?
she had nothing to do with the retaking of it.
In fact, Trump could make hay that Hillary is the reason Mosul needed to retaken at all.
