Alexander the Great. Stonewall Jackson. George S. Patton. To this list of some of history's greatest military strategists, a new name must be added: that of Barack Obama. That is, if you agree with Joe Scarborough's take on President Obama's statement at yesterday's press conference that "we don't have a strategy yet" regarding possible attacks on ISIS in Syria.
According to Scarborough, speaking on today's Morning Joe, President Obama's "no strategy" statement was "straight out of The Art of War where when you were weak, you make your enemies think you were strong. When you were strong, you make your enemies think you were weak." It's what Scarborough would have done, he told viewers, if he were president. When Sam Stein said that he couldn't tell if Joe was joking, Scarborough assured him: "I'm serious. Dead serious . . . I am dead serious. I am not joking."

Well, Obama's got that part down pat. I guess we'll just have to sit back and see if ISIS comes through on their part.
What a maroon!

‘That’s One Cold Bastard’: Scarborough Thinks Terrorists Intimidated By Obama’s Golfing [VIDEO]
Joe’s jealous that Todd has a pair- of presidential knee pads!
Scarborough thinks golf is a part of a brilliant thrust & parry global strategy.
What a load of bulls**t. One of these days, Obama is going to wet his pants and the American press will say he’s invented a new personal cooling system.
More like straight out of “The Art of Weed Smoking”. F’ing clueless.
Somebody needs to get Joe Biden um Scarborough out of there.
While ISIS tears up the middle east we got the real “JV” squatting in the white house or playing golf.
Strong play weak. Weak play strong. Okay Okay but now what did Sun Tzu say about a lazy coward.
There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;
(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;
(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
There’s a significant difference between not having a strategy and not revealing your strategy to your enemy. Obama is clearly in the former camp rather than the latter.
You do not undahstahnd grasshopper, we are clever beyond all
knowing- we have plahn so clever we don’t know what it is— but we never tell it.
Scarborough needs to lift his nose out of the coke. There. is. no. plan. And when/if there is one val jarrett will queer it to the enemy (her pals, and...obamaumaos). We have a former catholic convert to islam running the CIA now— for real, folks.
This will not wok.... like great wall of china— they will go around.
Scarborough, don’t you have a dead teenage intern in your office to clean up?
Yeah ... and “global warming” is responsible for cold weather too!
Obama has us totally fooled ...We think he is a gay ineffective narcissus when in fact he is a gay ineffective narcissus
Git your arse kikked daily and impress liebrals.
helluva way to run a gubamint, Joe.
Actually it is out of “Rules for Radicals”.
“The organizer goes with the action. His approach must be free, open-ended, curious, sensitive to any opportunities, any handles to grab on to, even though they involve other issues than those he may have in mind at that particular time. The organizer should never feel lost because he has no plot, no timetable or definite points of reference. A great pragmatist, Abraham Lincoln, told his secretary in the month the war began:
‘My policy is to have no policy.’” p165-166

Instead of striking your Enemy when they are in wide open country, wait until they become entrenched after overwhelming the Defenders and seizing their Military Equipment.
