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:

GWB and Cheney could have done something about it but they didn’t.

I wish some of the active duty brass had the “brass” to say the things that Ret. Adm. Lyons said.

One of the reasons I’ve been boycotting the Blaze for a long while.

Breitbart, too. Why would you attack a reader who clicks on an article that needs to be disseminated?

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.

Is there something intrinsically wrong with people making an honest living by engaging in free commerce? What - they're supposed to work for nothing?

What do you care if that website gets paid by advertisers for bringing them eyeballs? How much did you pay to click through to read the whole article?

Good way to get killed! It isn't about career, it's about life.

I suspect nobama’s final flip us the bird will be his admission to being an Iranian sympathizing mooselimb, as he walks out the door.

Did somebody pee in your Wheaties lady? Chill.

People were commenting on how lousy an article it was in that it didn't give any info pertaining to the headline.

I see you didn't bother to click on my profile before posting to me in a gender-specific manner. On top of that, you're a bit nasty, to boot.

I challenged you for dumping on the website owners, for having the temerity to actually trying to make a living, by providing you with news and links to news stories.

You conveniently failed to answer up to that charge, and instead went ad hominem on me in order to deflect the deserved criticism.

Just what does a click cost you anyway? Not one thin dime, so quit your whining.

Revelation 20:4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
