Quick, someone ask Admiral Mullen if thousands of rampaging anarchists aka domestic terrorists toss hundreds of Molotov cocktails into federal buildings and launch RPGs into the White House and Capitol buildings would they then not be considered as enemies of state?
After a week of rioting where dozens of cities and hundreds of neighborhoods are looted, gutted and set ablaze, cop cars overturned and burned, cops beaten and killed and with plans made for a million man riot, er, march in DC, complete with bricks, weapons, molotov cocktails and who knows what conveniently stashed along the route, are we supposed to wait until all of the federal district is set ablaze before we establish defendable perimeters and have ready troops standing by to repel hostile anarchists?
But of course, nothing like that happened. Possibly because in a 'moment of moral clarity,' our CINC made it clear to all that he had snipers stationed and armed troops standing at the ready in case it did. And now, thank God, all is peaceful.
So let's call down the snipers from their perches, pull out the troops standing by, send home the guard, let the goofy mayor release all the anarchists who were arrested, cut back her police department and just forget the whole thing.
But remember, sometimes it takes only a couple bullets fired by a lone teenage anarchist to set the entire world at war. And of course WWI led to WWII, etc., etc., etc.
...defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, remember? Yeah, I swore it too.
Yeah, and this is not the first time a president was heavily criticized by cabinet officers and military brass who thought they were so much smarter. Even Kennedy. Even Truman. Even Lincoln.
And sometimes a president has to fire and burn through many cabinet officers, generals and admirals until he lands on dependable people he can trust to get the job done.
And, of course, many of the firelings who thought they had all the answers run to the press and squeal like stuck pigs.
And some are so smart they even run for president.
And lose.
Admiral Mullen, Director, Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Outstanding comments and question for Admiral Mullen. What in the HELL is wrong with this retired supposed American Citizen.
Who does he work for now— or does he lobby and depend on a greasy Biden for his living, which is substantial for a full admiral retired.

Sorry, keyed a double post by accident.
Personally I think he should enact a National Militia, strictly voluntary but with incentives. Supply the weapons, ammo, training and of course qualifications.
Apparently Generals have a price.
Very well said.
Seems convenient that POTUS being criticized at same time by several high level & some retired military leaders ??
If these people plan to support Biden....when, like most, know he’s not fit to be POTUS....imho, they do not care one iota about the good of our great country.
Kudos, my sentiment exactly!
why bother? He’s more like the Captain of the Titanic - Straight ahead. Ignore that big white thingy.
Mullen is a Deep State Swamp creature.
Mullen lead the ‘Benghazi Accountability Review Board’.
Mullen did not think it worth interviewing the Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton, to make determinations of actions taken by Hillary.
The ‘fix was in’ to help Hillary - and Mullen was sleazy enough to trade his reputation to provide cover for her. A person of integrity would have done a thorough investigation - but he ‘fixed it’ to help Hillary. That tells me he has NO integrity to search for the truth.
With each passing generaton of useful idiots communism/socialism/marxism needs to be repackaged and marketed as something new and REVOLUTIONARY. Like the same old sleazy get rich quick scams pushed as new ways to achieve instant financial wealth. Like buying real estate with no $$$ down. How anybody can make a killing in stocks regardless of market conditions. Investing thousands in the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unworkable MLM/pyramid racket. They’ll tell you other systems failed because they were implemented wrong but THEY have a proven system that works. Those 4 deadly words, THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT. And like the red diaper abaies and hippies before them so many millenials fall for this crap like so many brainwashed little puppies.
Thumbs up, Jim Rob!
Of course, if there were any honest reporting, when a guy like this makes a statement like “they aren’t enemies of the state” the immediate follow up should be “Please explain precisely what it takes for someone to be considered an enemy of the state.”
That is incorrect, I believe.
Stop me if I’m wrong but I believe the Oath reads, “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic and bear true faith and allegiance to same ...”
The Constitution, not the Nation.
No disrespect intended, FRiend.
