You may not have noticed, but our generals claim they have been given orders to defeat ISIS and they claim they are doing so. A pin prick here...a pinprick there.
What our generals want is Assad and they don’t really care about ISIS. Also our generals are little politicians. They LOVE their friendships with the Saudis, Turks, and Gulf states.

Our general corps is a big part of the problem. You blame Obama, yet the generals enthusiastically support him and his goals. Their only complaint is that they want to attack Assad instead of ISIS. Mention ISIS, and they answer about transitioning Assad out. Nearly every general needs to go. They are all a bunch of pussies that are more like MBAs or State Dept types. They have nearly no martial skill that I can see.

It’s amazing. You don’t get to be that high without being 100% military. Once they get there they become like RINOS. Stinglaub shot off his mouth under Carter but he ALREADY had 30 years-no threat to his retirement. Clinton and Obama efferctively shut them up by not letting them quit honorably. Have any come forward telling all of us that as a condition of promotion they had to be willing to fire on Americans? Maybe it didn’t happen. Any the passed that conceivable test should be fired immediately. Where does Petraeus fit in here?

What Trump needs to do is find a new Chief of each branch of service and Joint Chief.......”Clean house” quickly. I was in the Military for 38 years and every general I every met only wanted be a higher grade general. Have you ever heard of a General Grade Officer who said “I will resign before I will do this or that”??? All only say such as that after they are retired.....’CLEAN HOUSE”

You are living in a fantasy world. So you really believe the MSM? You believe his press conference? let's say for the sake of argument (and you are not), that the president says he gave authority to the GCC. Unless a general is given the resources and parameters to defeat an enemy, a press conference means little. Ask your Congresscritter why we don't have a U.S. Marine Brigade planted in Al Anbar province. Ask him why Raqqa isn't in U.S. control? There is no authority.

So if Dickhead Obama says he is told generals to destroy ISIS, but has not made any provision, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

And why are you introducing information that has no relevance?

You have a feckless President and a feckless Congress. Brought to you by the American electorate.

Too much TV is ruining you. At some point in time, you have to test your assumptions if they are true. If they are not true, then you must modify or abandon them once confronted with new, truthful information.
