Mattis irks leftist media with deadly competency: ‘We’re going to kill them all’ (ISIS)

U.S. retired general and Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, has said the policy of the American military now in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq is moving from one of attrition to one of annihilation.

The Leftist media doesn’t like this so much.

The Washington Post in particular yesterday was upset that Mattis is annihilating the terrorists so effectively. “A military policy run solely by the Pentagon creates confusion,” writes the Post.

One reason the Left is upset is that having a warrior in charge of fighting a war shows how incompetent and purposefully feckless the Obama administration was.

Another reason may be the Left just simply has an affection for jihadis, hence the blind support for an open border policy for terrorists. Our corrupt media is also now using supposed ‘higher civilian casualties’ as a criticism of the Trump adminstration taking the fight hard to those that want to kill us. “Can’t we just give them jobs instead?” is the Left’s mantra.

“We’re not the perfect guys, but we are the good guys. And so we’re doing what we can,” said Mattis recently on the Sunday talk shows.

“Manchester’s tragic loss underscores the purpose of your years of study and training at this elite school … We must never permit murderers to define our time or warp our sense of normal. This is not normal,” Mattis declared while speaking to the graduation cadets of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point last month.

The reason for and the mission of a military is to kill people and break things. This is so whether on offense or defense. It is also the mission to destroy the will of the enemy to fight by the use of overwhelming and crushing force applied to them no matter where they are. If they hide, as the terrorists do among women and children it will their own responsibility should this choice result in innocents being killed.

A military without the will to use it is useless.

In hindsight the best response to 9/11 would have been to ship all people from Muslim countries who are not citizens back home.

The Saudi Kisser needs to go back into his hole and let Trump clean up Bush’s mess.

Sounds like Mattis is going to let them fight back without WH approval.

Yes - confusion in the minds of our enemies about how long they're going to live.

This is how it's supposed to be!

Sounds like a good, simple strategy against ISIS. There is strength in simplicity.

I’d like to see 9/11 be a day on the Jihadi calendar that is feared, not celebrated.

Let them cower in their caves and tunnels on 9/11 while praying to Allah the bombing stops.

Very fitting name for him, sadly.

If he doesn’t have the fortitude for justice when it comes to treasonous globals in power positions, then replace him with a pit bull who will.

Justice must be served or the nation will never properly heal and move forward.

One of the biggest crocks I ever discovered, was when GWB stood at Ground Zero and pledged the destruction of those who knocked the Towers down....and then set Rules Of Engagement that kept our troops from killing ang ragheads!

“We must never permit murderers to define our time or warp our sense of normal. This is not normal,” Mattis declared.

This statement is profound because it is so plainly true and yet curiously unspoken until now by America's leaders.

I think I read yesterday Mattis saying that Isis is pretty easy to defeat when you drop bombs instead of cash and arms....
