Mattis irks leftist media with deadly competency: ‘We’re going to kill them all’ (ISIS)
washingtontimes.com ^ | L. Todd Wood

U.S. retired general and Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, has said the policy of the American military now in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq is moving from one of attrition to one of annihilation.

The Leftist media doesn’t like this so much.

The Washington Post in particular yesterday was upset that Mattis is annihilating the terrorists so effectively. “A military policy run solely by the Pentagon creates confusion,” writes the Post.

One reason the Left is upset is that having a warrior in charge of fighting a war shows how incompetent and purposefully feckless the Obama administration was.

Another reason may be the Left just simply has an affection for jihadis, hence the blind support for an open border policy for terrorists. Our corrupt media is also now using supposed ‘higher civilian casualties’ as a criticism of the Trump adminstration taking the fight hard to those that want to kill us. “Can’t we just give them jobs instead?” is the Left’s mantra.

“We’re not the perfect guys, but we are the good guys. And so we’re doing what we can,” said Mattis recently on the Sunday talk shows.

“Manchester’s tragic loss underscores the purpose of your years of study and training at this elite school … We must never permit murderers to define our time or warp our sense of normal. This is not normal,” Mattis declared while speaking to the graduation cadets of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point last month.

I do not think that we have invented a microscope powerful enough to find either Session’s balls or spine.

Let’s hope that technology advances within the next three years.


Now to get AG Rip Van Sessions to wake up and go after the traitorous leftist media.

My favorite Mattis quote.

REPORTER: what keeps you up at night?

MATTIS: Nothing. I keep others up at night.

A military policy run solely by the Pentagon creates confusion

Much the same way that a healthcare policy run solely by medical professionals would create "confusion", I guess ??

Our intention is that the foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home to North Africa, to Europe, to America, to Asia, to Africa. We’re not going to allow them to do so. We’re going to stop them there and take apart the caliphate,” said the General.

I'm not seeing a great deal of "confusion" there. Is there something in that that the WaPo finds difficult to comprehend? "We're going to kill them all." "Yes, but what do you really mean by that?" You just can't reach some people.

MMmmm; I disagree; the only acceptable outcome is the total EXTINCTION of these raghead terrorists and any body who lends support to them.
