Obama Rejected "Best Military Advice"

As he laid out his strategy to combat the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria, President Obama rejected the “best military advice” of his top military commander in the Middle East.

*********************************************

AGAIN! Obviously, this has worked out so well for him ALL the times he’s done this before.

God help our military over the next two years, something tells me they are about to be in for an even more difficult time under this phony.

When looking at every situation and subsequent decision that involves Obama, one must first understand his motivation. What will yield him the greatest amount of donations from his billionaire friends? What will secure the votes for a small group that can swing a congressional district? What will motivate a group in a state that will swing enough people to vote for the leftist senatorial candidate.

Those factors will always be his motivation regardless of the outcome for the rest of us. They just wanted to secure votes or the extra dollars, who cares what the military and international implications are.

[Constitution Day]

Of course he did.

[skeeter]

BTW I can’t help but note that there was another famous leader who used to ignore his military leaders’ best advise.

[Cowboy Bob]

Remember - Obama is smarter than all his speech writers. So, it goes without saying that Obama is smarter than all his generals.

[Redleg Duke]

Iman Obama is sending in US troops in small enough quantities that the ISIS can defeat and decapitate them easily with minimal risk to themselves.

I believe that Obama wants a "Little Big Horn" incident to justify surrender.

[DocJhn]

You hand the General a map and say Geeter Done and shut the F up!
Lets hope this will not be a Benghazi redux!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

BS.
We have forces on the ground there now and will have more in the future.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Exactly. And because of this belief is why we are in the mess we are in globally. The guy is an idiot. A clueless, arrogant idiot.

[McGruff]

The Jayvee President

[sitetest]

The Kenyan anti-Christ doesn’t want to actually do any serious harm to his co-religionists in ISIS.

Islam must be destroyed.

[Joe Boucher]

Cause obammy is the smartest son of a bitch in the room on any subject. Just ask him, he’ll tell ya.
What a dumb ass.

[PGalt]

Iraqi Security Forces, the Iraqi air force, and a billion adherents of the “religion of peace” should be able to eliminate these 31,000 (current estimate) “hijackers” of the “religion of peace”.

peace out

[Qiviut]

In his mind, he’s obama-wan kenobi and smarter than the WORLD.

[petitfour]

Embedding US troops in small numbers with Iraqi forces. Yup. That is comforting. How did that US General die in Afghanistan?

Oh, and make sure we tell everybody what we are doing.

[longfellow]

Of course he does he’s one of them.

[Sir Napsalot]

Obama’s goal and that of “best military advice” of his top military commander in the Middle East are TWO different things.

He wanted to manage IS, not destroy. Like he’s been ‘community organize’-ing since his adulthood.

[Paine in the Neck]

Obama doesn't want to defeat ISIS. He wants them to prevail but he sees the political necessity to be seen as 'doing something'. So forces will be sent, hamstrung with impossible ROE, to ineffectually spent life, limb and treasure so Little Stevie Dunham doesn't have to take too much political heat. Qatar wants it; they've told Barry's handler, Valerie Jarrett, to make it so and thus it will come to pass.
