They continue to believe that there is such a thing as “limited war” and “proportional responses”.

Get with the program, it's now "Kinetic Military Action" or "KMA."

LBJ’s micro-mismanagement of Vietnam comes to mind.

[RightGeek]

Not to worry! He's a great general too!

LBJ bragged that the military could not bomb an outhouse without his approval. There was a Life magazine picture of LBJ and his daughter looking at some papers. I heard that the picture was posted on the bulletin board at MACV headquarters in Saigon with the caption “Lucy, what bombing targets do you want to pick today.”

“Micro management cost us Vietnam”

Myth......didn’t help but......

The Democrat Congress’ failure to live up to the US obligations to replenish the SVN losses in munitions while defending themselves from NVA attacks lost the VN War.

Democrats have been the source of every military “defeat” since WWII. They have a long held tradition of TREASON!

Damn near every single one of them, and the ones that are not are way outnumbered.

Maybe ISIS, ISIL, whatever, will give him a Mulligan..................

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexactly right.

Welcome black Lyndon? :^)

At least Johnson could be understood for his lunacy.

Coming from an environment where he controlled everything, Johnson ruled as he always had, micromanaging everything.

Obama came from controlling nothing, to controlling everything. He can’t get anything right.

Now here he goes emulating the biggest major blunder in U. S. Military history.

"Operation Rolling Thunder was closely controlled by the White House and at times targets were personally selected by President Johnson. From 1965 to 1968, about 643,000 tons of bombs were dropped on North Vietnam. A total of nearly 900 U.S. aircraft were lost during Operation Rolling Thunder. The operation continued, with occasional suspensions, until President Johnson, under increasing domestic political pressure, halted it on October 31, 1968.

If we’re going to have a African General then he should dress like one.
5 Stars, classy uniform that says I’m in charge.
And after commanding bombing runs all day, it needs to look sharp for the ladies when he and his homies step out for a drink to strategize photographers are everywhere.

Obama:”hmmmm,what would Saul Alinsky do in this situation?”

[7thOF7th]

GI JObama! The action figure would be great!

[LeoWindhorse]

Impeach

America cannot go forward under this man or his administration.

He is not worth their oaths

Goes well with these:

[catnipman]

Looks like Obama is taking a page from the Jimmy Carter playbook.

[outofsalt]

He has to get permission from Putin.
