Yes. He was offered. When he declined, he suggested that Trump check out the Marine General Mattis. (sp?)

Please Lord, let one, even one, NPR listener understand what has transpired: that Obama did not even try to defeat ISIS.

We may not have known that the anti-American Marxist Obama never asked, but we’re ALL fully aware he deliberately and only pretended to be opposing ISIS. McCain, McConnell, Clinton, Ryan and all the globalists are on board with the plan to destabalize the world.

By the time a person reaches Flag rank, admiral or general, they have enough years in to retire, and their retirement would be comfortable.

That means that they have the option to retire from the military at any time and speak out on any problems they see.

None of them did that.

Keanu said they all knew the fighting was for nothing.

They had the opportunity to retire and speak out about this senseless misery, and they chose not to.

That makes them cowards.

Moral cowards, but cowards just the same.

I know all about the argument that they have to stay and fight for their Service.

That’s a bullshit excuse.

They stood by and let the misery continue.


While I agree that a few well placed and very public resignations could have highlighted Obama’s malfeasance, the reality is that Obama and the media would have prevented any serious opposition and would have kept Obama from paying any price.

Any resigning Admiral or General would have been replaced by an Obama toady which would have been a disaster given that Obama was actively trying to purge as much of the military leadership as possible as quickly as possible.

The military did what they did during the Clinton Administration which is keep a low profile, stay in charge and wage a passive-aggressive rear guard action to resist the Obama war on the military and limit the damage.

They also kept a list of the Obama partisan officers who needed to be purged when a new administration took over.

If you remember back 4 years or so, the litmus test for an Obama partisan officer was a Military Officer willing to fire on American Citizens deemed “terrorists” by the Obama Administration.

The difference between American loyalist officers and Obama partisans is that American loyalist officers would not fire on the American people if Obama crossed the line and incited serious resistance

Sometimes staying around to fight a rear guard action beats, hands down, the futile gesture of an ill advised and ineffective resignation that allows Obama to appoint an enemy from within replacement.

I would love to see President Trump have Obama arrested for treason and sedition, and thrown into Gitmo for the rest of his miserable life. Stick his whole family in there as well to keep him company.

The family that plots together, rots together.

Obama never asked for a plan - FROM YOU.

Certainly, he and his Saudi and UAE allies had plenty of military plans for their clandestine jihadi groups.
