Trump: Generals will have 30 days to submit plan for defeating ISIS
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/07/16 | Dan Calabrese

"Any nation who shares in this goal will be our friend in this conflict."

This is not the policy the media likes when you’re running for president, but it’s the only thing any serious president can do. It’s idiotic to stand there on the campaign stump and lay out in detail how you would fight a war. Not only are you giving away your strategy to the enemy, but you also have no idea how to anticipate what might actually happen on the field of battle.

So however much you may hear complaints that Trump is “short on specifics” here, this is really the ultimate in being presidential:

All right!!!

Make those jackasses finally start earning their pay!

Give them 30 days, and if they don’t come up with a good plan, then send them and their desks into the field in Afghanistan.

I can submit my plan in 30 seconds.

“Mr. President, can you please enter the Nuclear code?”

THIS is what a leader is like....we haven’t seen this type of real leader since Ronald Reagan!!!

You tell the American People what you think, why you think it, and how it will turn out, they will support you...

You lie, hide, have ‘back room deals’ and the American People will turn against you...

This is good, that he is asking for their input. A refreshing change.

The military has had 14 years to defeat ISIS and its Muslim terrorist predecessors. Bush and especially Obama tied their hands. However, there has to be a strategy to win and not take another decade and a half. Otherwise, the United States needs to withdraw.

Plans for this are already in place. That is what the Pentagon does, they are called contingency plans and would be submitted upon request.

The defeat ISIS Plans are located under more important items that Obama has prioritized, such as:

Domestic military contingencies to respond to Trump rally violence

Military response to defend LBGTQFH bathhouses

Distribution of phones and other goodies for Oct. 23 to Nov. 7th in key locations (read ghettos).

Huh??????????

Do you know that it is Barky's National Security Council that has made so many restrictions, that ISIS cannot be decisively engaged?

It is NOT the Pentagon planners. I have first hand knowledge, not rumor, not hearsay. First hand.

ISIS is already defeated, and they may be vanquished by the time Trump is inaugurated. The challenge for the generals will be to come up with a plan to get rid of Assad, along with the Russian and Iranians Obama invited to invade Syria, that doesn't involve getting the entire world blown up in the process.

Generals get paid to do.

If they can’t find a way to win, then retirement calls their names.

“The maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters!”

These generals will have said that sometime in their career.

There is nothing dishonorable in admiting that they can’t do the job and then retiring so that some new thoughts can come forward.

The vast majority of the Obama appeasers in the Pentagon need to be told to have their resignations on President Trump’s desk in 3 hours. They have stood silently by while Obama has destroyed the morale and operational effectiveness of the military through crippling rules of engagement, misguided gender integration, harassment witch hunts, homosexual indoctrination, and muslim infiltration. They cannot be trusted to do what is necessary to support their troops or defend America.

Things have really changed on the battlefield lately, and ISIS is retreating to their last stands now. The Islamic State in Iraq is being squeezed into the confines of Mosul, which is being surrounded on all sides with even the French getting in on the act now with artillery and air strikes. Iraq will be ISIS free by the end of the year and soon thereafter in Syria if the Russians don't get in the way.

I'm sorry. How many operations plans have YOU worked on or contributed to?

You do not know how the system works. Like Vietnam, Korea, and Beirut; if the generals are not allowed to win, they most certainly will not.

Would, “We win; they lose” count as a plan? Isn’t that what Reagan said?
