FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network):
What are the terrorists called?
Wallace: “Islamic Jihadists”,
and from a video of an analyst:
“(They are) part of larger network, assigned to this atrocity.”

Gen. Martin Dempsey does not call them Islamic terrorists,
but ISIL.
Gen. Martin Dempsey: ISIL ... tries to rebrand itself,
that is what makes it dangerous.
A group that embraces such radical ideology must
(maintain momentum).

Wallace: Was attack directed?
Gen. Martin Dempsey:
“They were inspired. One did receive training in Yemen.
There is a linkage between them.

Wallace: (How safe is the USA)
Do we need to step up our efforts?

Gen. Martin Dempsey:
Capabilities are that the country (USA) can play
an “away game”.

Gen. Martin Dempsey claims we reversed the
“territorial gains” of the Islamic terrorists.
(Based on what?)

Claims ISIL will “collapse under its own contradictions”.
“Nine lines of effort exist ... three military
(against them).”

Wallace: Can Mosul be retaken? Will US troops be needed?
(doesnt know) “we are months away from that”.

Wallace: How can (Obama) say Afganistan will no longer be
the source of (terrorism)?
Gen. Martin Dempsey: “Ask him”. ...
“we are in a good place in Afghanistan ...”
(Terrorism) may not be there now, but could be tomorrow”.

Wallace: (How do you feel about the fact that)
55% of active duty troops do not feel Obama is doing
a good job.
Gen. Martin Dempsey:
“I tell them that Obama supports their efforts.”
... “Am I being micromanaged.
I will have to check with the White House.”
(He feels he can say anything to Obama
who then makes the decision).

re: Release of prisoners with high recividism rate (>30%)
Wallace: Are you worried that Obama is pushing to close
GITMO.
Gen. Martin Dempsey: He says no, it makes a “scar” on
our image. But the worst must be detained,
and he blames our “elected officials”
for not taking them into the homeland.

Wallace: Could we take out the nuclear program of Iran?
Gen. Martin Dempsey claims it is an unacceptable risk,
and our military can only “delay” their attainment of nukes.

We are being governed by those who talk "Newspeak" at every level of govt.

[Alas Babylon!]

Wallace: (How do you feel about the fact that) 55% of active duty troops do not feel Obama is doing a good job. Gen. Martin Dempsey: “I tell them that Obama supports their efforts.”

Say what!!??

The most recent poll of the military has Obama's approval rate at 18%! Yes, I said EIGHTEEN!!!

Not 45% Wall-ass!

And exactly what "efforts' does Obama support?

-Gays. Check.
-Transgenders. Check.
-Gutting readiness. Check.
-Allowing illegal alines in uniform. Check.
-Releasing our enemies, who've already killed American troops. Check.
-Supporting our enemies in Syria. Check.
-Gutting medical care for veterans and retirees. Check.

Yeah, right Dempsey. He's got our back... < / s >

[Steven Tyler]

For me, the money quote was

Wallace: Are you micro managed by the Whitehouse, like Panetta and Hagel have claimed?

Gen. Martin Dempsey:
I will have to check with the White House, and ask them what are my answers/thoughts.

Boy Obama, thru Gen Dempsey, used a whole lot of words just to say....”kick it down the road. “Let the next (Republican) President deal with it while we Democrats undermine his efforts to unravel my mess.....”
