Former head of Marine Corps: ‘Not a snowball’s chance In hell’ Obama’s plan succeeds
The Washington Times ^ | September 20, 2014 | Kellan Howell

A former Marine Corps Commandant told an audience that President Obama’s strategy to defeat Islamic State militants doesn’t have a “snowball’s chance in hell” of succeeding.

Speaking at a conference in Washington, General James Conway, who served as the 34th Commandant of the Marine Crops at the end of the Bush administration and beginning of the Obama administration, said that he was skeptical that the U.S. had reliable ground forces in Iraq, the Daily Caller reported Friday.

In June, Gen. Conway blasted the White House over the controversial prisoner swap of five terrorism suspects for alleged deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

INVAR:"Obama is a Trojan Horse for our enemies, especially the Jihadists.
I believe Obama sees himself as a messianic figure preparing the way for what he intends to come."

I believe that he wants to become the president of the U.N., and controller of the world.
Why else would he overstep the Constitution, openly support Global Warming, and advance the U.N. concept of a GLOBAL TAX to fight Global Warming ..?
when the rational, and 'real science' says that we are in a 'cooling phase', and can proove it ??

The UN president.....I don’t know. I think obama is not particularly bright. He is petulant and lazy. I don’t think he wants to be under the spotlight (notwithstanding his rock star desire for adoration). He wants to play golf and go to concerts. I don’t think he likes serious duties. When he does stupid things, he is now called on it by many in the media. The petina is off his being “the ONE”. And he does not like it when anyone questions his decisions. He loves the girls fainting at his speeches....as he said,....it happens all of the time. He is not a serious person and he needs to go away.

That’s the point...he doesn’t want it to...he doesn’t even care if he’s blamed or not...read the rules for radicals and making everyone get tired of you and hate you is part of the plan.

When you surround yourself with "yes" men, you constantly recieve affirmation that you are an important decision maker, and all decision are correct.
The typical signs of a Narcissist is : "It's all about me"
and Obungler fits that identity accurately.

Don't beleive me ??.. check out OBungler's international political successes.
and he rejects any opinion that doesen't with is own opinion.

I think it’s hard for people to grasp that a person who wants to be president, gets elected, so he can tear the country apart.

I know a lot of people who just can’t make sense out of that equation.

But, when they are herded into camps and denied all their rights as citizens; sadly, they may come to realize what has happened to them; and why paying attention to what’s going on around you matters.

This crop of democrats are really scary people.

They are no different than the other Socialist sycophants who supported various attempts at their utopias in other despotic regimes.

These people, have absolutely no reservations about rounding up those they declare to be evil and ‘getting rid of them’.

Genocides are always the fruits of such a people against those they hate.
