TEHRAN, Iran — The chief of an elite unit in Iran’s 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 Guard’s 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 wasn’t clear whether Soleimani’s remarks came as a direct response to Carter’s, though tensions remain high between the two countries amid negotiations over Iran’s contested nuclear program.

Hard to argue the point.
Our government is too worried about racist American white people.
Add Christian and male to that list.
We have a dilatant who wants to wage war like he’s a patron in a five star restaurant who isn’t hungry. He wants to occupy the seat for the status it confers, point at the menu, discuss the merits of one entre over another and send the waiter away while he spends more time on the menu.
War is for a gritty player who, when he was young, played games you could lose and maybe get roughed up playing. Our president doesn’t play games where he gets dirty or can lose.
The US government has no will to fight, the people do
“Our government is too worried about racist American white MALES”....corrected!
the selected muslim presnt has no spine to do it...the American people are so down by the lack of leadership for 6+ years would be a tough sale...but backs to the wall we would beat anyone’s ass if needed!!
Our President would rather support ISIL, but since he can’t, he’ll just ignore it, blame Bush, and talk about climate change.
>>> but backs to the wall we would beat anyone’s ass if needed!!
THAT is it. Those wish to do us harm better understand that.
IF we are ‘backs to the wall’, even Obama can’t survive with drone strikes / special ops, and/or criminal justice approach.
He only plays games where he gets bent over and brutally sodomized.
Makes complete sense now.
You sure of that?
All the invaders would need to do is keep the power on, the water flowing, and Hollywood and the MSM going. No one will lift a finger.
The soft ‘invasion’ as you pointed out will continue. Yes.
But if those savages think they can pull a stunt here (as IS are begging to see a spectacular visual victory for them), they will discover people’s wills are different.
Americans are not helpless and we do not lack wills fighting back against head choppers here.
Our despicable ruling class is too busy homosexualizing our children to be bothered with such trivial matters.
Spec. ops/sas 30 days. No quarter.
It depends on what the meaning of “fight” is. I think Americans would have the will to exterminate these vermin with swift and overwhelming force.
Obama doesn’t to stop ISIS. It is far too useful spreading Muslim terror and chaos to create the Greater Caliphate and supply “refugee” soldiers Obama is bringing into America.
And ISIS loves raping boys, and killing people, pretty messed up that somehow our nation shares similar interests, yet the higher ups want to just let the filthy ISIS win!
ISIS are too bloodthirsty to do it that calmly. However, the real question is how many people would have a will to live if the internet went down? I am too scared to wonder...
