How can anyone expect the military to know what is going on when the Commander in Chief doesn’t know himself.
This vacationing clown we have in charge now is clueless.
He ios playing at being President.
Excellent post. Caroline is on target. For more on this disaster, see

Watching the Obammunist talking heads try to justify him on TV is a Comedy.
The strategy is to contrive chaos. Chaos allows more options to break down nation states and build a global community. Chaos is in play at al levels and all venues (economics/diplomacy/domestic affairs/social and cultural). Obama Inc. is flooding the zone.
THIS presumes we HAVE a foreign policy.. the author is being generous.
If we can be said to possess a foreign policy AT ALL it is called ‘Wag the Dog’.... real simple (simpleminded, rather!)
I think our strategy is simply poll-driven - Obama needed to drop a few bombs to look Presidential after appearing absent on Japan. Look at it from the perspective of “What gives Obama better MSM headlines for the next 48 hours?” and everything foreign and domestic that has been done over the last two years makes perfect sense.
Maybe that's while Mookle Moore is on his case, and why some of his international friends are trying to get his "Peace Prize" revoked (what a joke that is).
Maybe this is the moment... then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when the frightful march of Obama began to slow and our nation began to wake up...
Mullen's difficulty explaining the purpose of this new war was indicative of the increasing irrationality of US foreign policy.
Mullen is a sailor, he doesn't make policy, and I wouldn't even go so far as to state that the Obama Administration has a foreign policy. This cluster-f**k is coming from BHO and Hillary Clinton, so it's no surprise that there is no strategic rationale, or any other rationale.
“In media interviews over the weekend, US military chief Adm. Michael Mullen was hard-pressed to explain either the goal of the military strikes in Libya or their strategic rationale.”

It is very simple to comprehend and define. Aid and assist whichever is the most retrograde jihadist movement and group operating in any given area. In Iran, passively assist the Islamic Republic’s purge of dissenters through silence and inaction. In Egypt where the choice is between a lukewarm ally and a hostile, anti-Christian Muslim Brotherhood radical faction, support the Muslim Brotherhood. In Libya, where the choice is between an obnoxious and deranged but relatively stable and aging dictator and Al-Qaeda inspired and organized insurgents, support Al-Qaeda cells and bases.
What is hard or complex about grasping this agenda? The plan is so simple that even a community organizer can understand it.
If I had to pick the top three people whose opinions I trust on foreign policy, Caroline Glick would be one of them.
