TEHRAN, Iran The chief of an elite unit in Irans Revolutionary Guard has accused the U.S. of having no will to stop the Islamic State group after the fall of the Iraqi city of Ramadi, an Iranian newspaper reported Monday.
The comments by Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Guards elite Quds unit, come just after U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter accused Iraqi forces of lacking the will to fight in an interview aired the day before.
It wasnt clear whether Soleimanis remarks came as a direct response to Carters, though tensions remain high between the two countries amid negotiations over Irans contested nuclear program.

But the Regime does not represent the American people, and this is where the ragheaded morons miscalculate.
The word on that restaurant is that nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded.
Hear! Hear! Should be shouted from the rooftops, ronnie raygun!
The elites and the Muslims both follow Lucifer so it’s only natural that they would support one another’s fight against Christians.
The people do? Institute a draft and a war tax and see how that turns out.
Of course, he’s exactly correct.
I don’t much care how the indigenous population of Arabia chooses to live (although I do think we were better off with the Turks in charge).
I absolutely care what they do over here, including spreading their religion.
So, do I have the will to “fight ISIS”? That depends on what you mean.
Sending an armed expeditionary force to make them have elections and build them schools and stuff? No, I have no will for that at all.
Killing every last one of them if they break an egg in America or harm one hair on an American’s head? Hell, yeah. let’s do it.

No, we would just rather enjoy our popcorn and watch you and your ilk get slaughtered.
Oh, we want to fight AND have the will for it!
We just don’t want to play patty-cake anymore.
Isn’t that what the Japanese were banking on when they attacked Pearl Harbor?
I agree. The country has become increasingly passive, apathetic, and easily distracted by all manner of hedonistic comforts. Even the moribund Tea Party had trouble getting people off their couches to just show up for couple of hours because other things were more important to them than defending our freedoms. It seems that being entertained 24X7 is the only thing that really matters.
BINGO!!!!!
We would slaughter Muslims by the tens of thousands.They’d better be careful what they wish for.
Anybody who thinks Obama wants to defeat ISIL isn’t paying attention....
We helped create this monster by not on purpose doing a SOFA in Iraq, supplied and trained Anti Syrian “rebels” to overthrow Assad...
McCain was his waterbody for that....
Obama is playing geo-political chess.... Except he thinks he playing checkers....
Not under the so-called CIC who created it.
Obama only has “will” left to play Golf
Obama’s weakness will get us into a grim and terrible war that will be fought in our own land as well as overseas. We should have taken out Iran in 1979—It has just gotten worse. the Japanese in WW II thought we wouldn’t fight, They thought we would sue for peace after pearl Harbor. They were wrong. IS is wrong too—so are others who bank on a USA full of Obama/Progressive peaceniks. We made a mistake NOT electing Mittens.
“”The US government has no will to fight, the people do””
Absolutely correct! Too bad we can’t do it or at least relay the orders to the folks who we know can get the job done. It’s like watching the Keystone Cops in action - it’s pathetic... What are we waiting for? Don’t want to hurt the Iraqis feelings? Yeah - it’s all about feelings, isn’t it? What dishonor we bring to those who have already paid the ultimate price over there. Shame on us! How sad it is when we remember what today is all about and those who fought wars whose commanders sent them out to win!!
Could this war, not even acknowledged by Obama, become the loss of freedom.....the loss of our way of life.....could this Machiavellian Prince be taking away the United States of America? Could our leadership have determined this is or time to give up on freedom for the cause of socialism/marxism? Are we now just going through the motion of pretense that we still have freedom even as we work twenty hours per week, under the fiction of freedom? Is the only freedom left that which remains in our heads?
I see muslims committed to their perverse cause. Even our president is not committed. 5 sorties/day with over 1/2 returning with ornance. He is pretending. This is what Machiavelli said the leadership had to do in The Prince. I see no decency in any democrat leader. They remain silent on Clintons sacrifice of 4 good men and then she lies to the family.....What do we hear from democrats who can see it, just like me........crickets chirping....and good men continue to die. Theirs is a pretension....an attempt at illusions....and the willful acceptance by a complacent population. Is this the approaching apocalypse we invite to visit us? I tremble for the children and grandchildren who have to live under the despotism which is sure to come.
