Recently we reported on retired Lt. Gen. and former DIA Chief Mike Flynn’s devastating criticism of the terms of President Obama’s Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against ISIS.

Another prominent retired member of America’s armed forces who has emerged as an outspoken opponent of the Obama administration’s foreign policy is four-star admiral James “Ace” Lyons.

During the Center for Security Policy’s recent Defeat Jihad Summit, the naval officer of 36 years, who served most recently as the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, made some simply astounding comments about Islam and President Obama’s foreign policy strategy:

Obamas foreign policy is whatever at the moment doesn’t interfere with tee time, and hands off savage murdering Muslim terrorists. He has been 100% on both.

“Until you recognize that islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion you’re never going to come to grips with it.”

“The Obama administration has a strategy. It’s very simple, any thinking American should be able to grasp it. It’s anti-American, anti-Western, it’s pro-islamic, it’s pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood.”

Three cheers for Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn. Spot on accurate.

Three paragraphs, and we don’t know what he said.

Lousy “journalism”.

Has Zero commented on the beheadings of the 20 Coptic Christians? Rev. 20:4 is enlightening on that subject.

You know that mass protest they had in Paris after Muzzie attacks where 40 world leaders showed up? You know why he didn’t go or send anybody? Because he agreed with the attack. Anyone who insults the Prophet must be killed. He agreed with the killings which is why he didn’t protest it. Democraps in all their brilliance put a radical Muslim in the nations highest office and in time of war no less. Did you ever think you would ever see the day where Muslim nations would be more against radical Islam than a sitting US President? Forget ISIS in the middle east, we got ISIS in the freakin Oval office.

Yes.

Rip off.

And even going to the article at the original web site, the article doesn’t say what he says.

It tells us to watch an hour long embedded video to find out.

He is a spy, he’s a radical Islamic agent. Remember when GW Bush said terrorists will get us where we least expect it? Well they got us in the White House. We got the enemy sitting in the nations highest office thanks to the brilliance of Democrats

This type of article is nothing but "clickbait". The headline is meant solely to get people to click through to the article then to click on the ads to generate revenue.

OK, so these guys all kissed a_ _ all the way through their careers, never standing up for the right thing or pushing back against the BS, and now they are heroes? How many soldiers have we lost with this stupid ROE and the idiot DoD priorities? Read the biographies of generals like Patton or Marshall, and you’ll see what real leadership looks like. These guys profiled in the article were willing to ride the train in first class all the way to disaster, and now they want to join the popular naysayer crowd, now that they have their pensions and cushy civilian jobs? There is a lot of traitorous behavior at work here.

I salute the Admiral would would gladly work for him any day.

I also salute Dorkbama, but only with one finger.

What I’d like to see happen to him in a day will not be mentioned.

The event included prominent counterjihadists such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders and dozens of others.
