WOODWARD: MILITARY UPSET SUSAN RICE TELLING GENERALS HOW TO FIGHT
Breitbart.com ^ | February 8, 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/08/2015 10:26:19 AM PST by Reverend Saltine

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Sunday,” veteran journalist Bob Woodward said people in the military are complaining to him that the Obama administration has no strategy to defeat ISIS other then having people like Susan Rice “micromanage” military responses. Woodward said, “If you talk to people in the White House and the military, I think there’s agreement and John McCain is right and General Flynn is right, there is no strategy. They have not sat down and said this is where we want to go and this is how we want to do it. And the measure of that, when you head into the weeds here, people from the White House are micromanaging the tactical situation on a daily and weekly basis. That’s not their job. They have to kind of do strategic planning and say what do we want to accomplish in the next year.”

Stop saying, “White House...Administration...IRS,” etc.-—Please give our young, smart-thinking President full credit. It should ALL be, “Obama....”

Just as well.

If Obama was more open, he’d just tell the Generals—”OK, your job is to help the Muslim terrorists kill everyone else. Just like Juan McCain advises. Your job is always to fight on the wrong side, like you did in Kosovo and Algeria.”

Can’t Rice just go make some pro-Islamic videos?

Whatever are the odds of a military coup in the next 2 years?
Of course we will have to see what happens; limited areas of martial law?, cancelled elections?, economic emergency?, war?

Old Chinese curse: may you live in interesting times.

I wonder if Vegas has a line on this.

Not long ago, I was working on a government project which involved a software tool. Based on rudimentary requirements, I created a prototype which served as a framework of potentiality, but which didn't actually do anything.

I sat with the Chief Engineer and showed it to him. I said: "Once we establish technical specifications, we can turn this into something useful, but without the requirements and the vision, this thing doesn't do anything at all. What is it you want this thing to do?"

It was a long meeting. It was 100% in the weeds the whole time, and I walked out with one assignment: "The image of the button on the left side of the first screen should be blue, not green."

My God.

That's why GS-15s make the big bucks, I suppose.

Old Vulcan saying: “Only Reid can go to Impeachment....”

Maybe if they used a nicer word?

“A Caring Intervention”?

The Republicans control the House and the Senate. Whatever happens, the Republicans own it now.

I guess you forgot about the three branches of government. Here's a hint: Republicans control the legislative branch. Can you name the other two and tell me who controls them?

I think the sum total of their strategy is act like they’re doing something, drop some bombs on ISIS areas, and not get any U.S. servicemen killed.

Perhaps those in the administration responsible for the current state of affairs are not capable of strategic thinking.

Obama Administration officials occupying the Pentagon on an imaginary Beltway university campus take peoples' democratic vote on tomorrow's target for the daily U.S. air strike.
