While President Barack Obama during his Pentagon visit on Monday explained his approach to fighting and defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) with the statement that “Ideologies are not defeated by guns; they’re defeated with better ideas,” Israeli political officials and their security commanders announced their own plans for a specially trained brigade.
According to an Israeli source, Geoff Gotfield, a former member of a police counterterrorism team, the new unit – created and trained in secret – was also formed to deal with the threat of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, despite Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry enthusiastically trying to “sell” their attempt to achieve a nuclear agreement with Islamic Republic.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, on Tuesday during an Armed Services Committee hearing, criticized President Obama’s comments at the Pentagon on Monday about his progress against ISIS as being delusional. “President Obama’s comments today reveal the disturbing degree of self-delusion that characterizes the Administration’s campaign against (ISIS),” McCain said.
Others said they were disappointed that some of the military leaders at the Pentagon showed no “backbone” and stood behind Obama while he pontificated about a non-existent coalition of 60 nations.
According to Israel Defense Force (IDF) officials, the new fighting force is being trained and armed for unconventional counterterrorism and anti-Iranian missions.
The announcement is being characterized as a wake-up call for the general Israeli population. The new force’s missions include protecting southern and northern Israel against rocket and mortar fire and preventing Islamist groups using armored carriers captured from Syrian and Iraqi militaries to storm the Jewish State’s border.
“The new commando brigade is designed for quiet, bold, covert and effective action against terrorist groups posing a threat from the Sinai Desert to Egyptian sovereignty and Israel’s southern border. Such action would be coordinated closely between Israeli and Egyptian military and intelligence arms,” said an IDF statement. “Israelis are taking no chances against a declared enemy.”
Other possible IDF operations are Israel’s continued battle against the Lebanon-based Shi’ite terrorist group Hezbollah or any Syrian groups including the Nusra Front who decide to attack the region’s only true democracy.
All members of the Israeli warrior group are experts in different aspects of covert and stealth operations deep behind enemy lines. The yet to be named brigade is said “blend U.S. Delta Force, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers and Britain’s Special Airborne Service commandoes all rolled into one war fighting and covert operations unit.
Why did America arm al Qaeda (”rebels”) after they
attacked America on 911?
WHY?
Ideas like “Give peace a chance”?
Communist dork boy.
Good for Israel!!!! Stand up and fight for the rights of your land....I applaud them!!!
A handful of MOSSAD agents can inflict more pain on ISIS than two years of Obama’s comic opera bombing campaign.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It’s easy.
No JV Squad treatment here.......
There are only a couple of answers to that question and one of the answers must be correct. Either answer is frightening— one is just more evil than the other.
God bless Israel and give their conservative leader wisdom to deal with enemies within Israel and in this now evil America, whomever they may be.
Obama thinks droping a bomb in view of the enemy but not on them, will scare them away. I’m told this has been done.
Good one eco...
This new force will not be burdened by any sill ROE. The will operate with extreme prejudice:
There will be NO PRISONERS taken:

Look up GI No on Robot Chicken at youtube.
..... And a heckuva lotta expensive high tech equipment and ordnance delivered right to the doorsteps of ISIS in pretty wrapping paper, ribbons and bows.
He may think that, but he knows that every wasted bombing diminishes our resources and diminishes morale, thus furthering his agenda of transforming/destroying what's left of the country, his real goal.
L4B has not understanding of History. America did not end Japanese Emperor worship and militarism by having a ‘better ideology’. May the crap of a million donkeys be upon L4B, piled high and deep.
I’m an old man. I have no idea what you’re trying to convey.
BTW, I miss KB also.
