This is fantastic. Also just saw Ralph Peters on Fox speaking very highly of him.
No more Bammy boy to push around anymore. Thank God!
I had some significant concerns about Mattis. I still do.
I’m glad he’s SecDef and not Sec of State. Those are foreign policy positions, and my concerns were mostly in those areas. He’ll not set policy as SecDef. He’ll execute it.
I wish all these knuckleheads who worked so hard to undermine Trump as a candidate (especially Peters, the @sshole who actually endorsed Hillary Clinton) would just keep their mouths shut about his appointments.
Wow. The more I learn about Gen. Mattis, the better he looks.
Before reading this I thought General Mattis was a very good pick, but if the post-American globalist Neocons at National Review are in favor of him, maybe I should rethink that.
Not a fan of what he did to the Haditha Marines and Sgt Wuterich. Those guys simply fought the way his “I didn’t bring artillery” quote claims he would. He went out of his way to screw them.
And don’t like his pro Palestinian 2 state and stop settlements position.... but that said he is orders of magnitude better than any revolutionary socialist pervert Hillary or Obama would place there.
I am sure he has re-evaluated some of his positions after meeting with Trump and Pence
Mattis tends in a counter-Israel direction, and I don’t like that.
He also is a systemite, in that he supported the establishment witch hunt against the Haditha Marines and even got caught engaging in Unlawful Command Influence in the trial to help the media get a scalp from one of those Marines.
I will not be surprised to discover that he will not promote rolling back the homosexual offensive in the social experimentation directed against the US military.
But, being fair, that is really the responsibility of Congress. I don’t expect them to touch it at all.
See #17. We’ll know about Israel when we see the SoS pick.
Petraeus is not pro-Israel.
I’m sure that both Giuliani and Romney are. I’m not sure about Bolton.
I think he would be very good in a war situation. But every general out there now has the neocon nationbuilding and interventionist disease. They simply wouldn’t have been selected to those levels in the Bush and Obama administrations if they didn’t.
The days of Schwarzkopf Generals of the “destroy them and depart” mentality are sadly gone.
Yep. CNN’s bimbos who don't give a damn about illegals flooding the country or cops being assassinated now CARE OH SO MUCH ABOUT THE LAW. Effing liars. They don't give a damn about the law - their opposition is one more way for them to express hatred for Trump and the American people..
CNN and the New York Times should drop the pretense... just write for each other.
