Obama set to give ‘final’ counterterrorism speech to troops
The Washington Times ^ | December 1, 2016 | Dave Boyer

But the announcement that Mr. Obama will deliver a speech to U.S. Special Forces to confirm the wisdom of his counterterrorism strategy looks like validation of an effort that is far from settled.
.
.
.
“This speech will be a final opportunity for him to discuss at length how he has effectively, durably, and successfully implemented reforms to keep us safe,” Mr. Earnest said.

The preview strongly hinted that Mr. Obama will defend his counterterrorism strategy, which has been sharply criticized by President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans, as the correct path forward for the incoming administration.

Oh yeah, sure he has. How many so-called "lone wolf" attacks have there been on US soil over the past 8 long years, hussein?

What are the odds that Trump will follow this "correct path" as laid out by the incompetent, vile BHO? Really, I'm curious.

“Obama set to give ‘final’ counterterrorism speech to troops”

Poor troops!!!

Maybe they should all just “be sick” that day or take leave.

Who in their right mind would want to actually sit through this BS when you have President Trump and SECDEF Mad Dog coming in behind these failures...We are so sick and tired of listening to this idiot and Ash “the dip$hit” Carter.

Honestly, neither one of them ever really had a F’n clue about what to do with the military, as evidenced by all the retarded social engineering BS they foisted on us.

Hey oblahblah, eat $hit!!!

If you have to give a speech to tell people how much you’ve done for them, you haven’t succeeded in doing anything.

Refugees Can Enter USA! The State Department has flatly denied asylum to an estimated 300,000 Christians whose lives are in direct danger from ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Meanwhile Obama plans to dump hundreds of thousands of Syrian Muslims - many with direct ties to ISIS - in American communities. The UN Refugee Resettlement Program and the Refugee Act of 1980 (US law 96-212) are being used to discriminate against legitimately endangered Christians while flooding your home town with ISIS terrorists who will gladly behead you on the sidewalk in front of your own home.
