Top U.S. general [Retired]: 'We are not trying to destroy ISIS'
WND ^ | 22 Nov 2015 | Greg Corombos

ISIS can be defeated, but it will take much greater will on the part of President Obama, an exponentially more robust air campaign with more reasonable rules of engagement and Arab ground forces to get the job done, according to retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney.

McInerney spent 35 years in uniform and rose to the role of assistant vice chief of staff, the number three position in the Air Force. He also served as a combat pilot in Vietnam and as vice commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe. He said the first step is for Obama to admit the U.S. currently has no strategy.

"He doesn't have a strategy and that's why, 16 months after we started the air campaign, we're still at it," said McInerney, who compared America’s current policy of a few sorties a day to what was accomplished back in the Gulf War in 1991.

"Desert Storm was 600,000 troops against Saddam Hussein’s forces," he said. "We had a 43-day air campaign and a 100-hour ground campaign. I don't understand what the president's strategy is. I don't know what the president's purpose is. He just has not exhibited any desire to take ISIS out."

Could it be because Obama is a muzzie supporting ISIS?
Despite his protestations that he is Christian (and given that he has a lengthy track record of brazen lying ... and besides Jeremiah Wright is hardly a Christian himself), the mental light weight fraud Obama on several occasions has made the Freudian slip of professing to be a muzzie.
In addition, he has stated that he'll stand with the muzzies his entire life, and that the muzzie call to prayer is the most beautiful sound on earth.
Additionally, Obama's actions --- and his in-actions --- in the War on Terror bespeak where his allegiance lies.
Thus, in addition to being a moron, and a Marxist, I submit it is reasonable to categorize Obama as a muzzie also.

Our Pastor, one of, if not my fathers best friend ended a meeting at our house with this:

...

My Prayer is that Christ will give me the time to see Donald Trump elected on November 8, 2016, sworn in on January 20, 2017, implement his agenda, starting with riding the nation of illegals, muslims, the EPA and the departments or energy and education, and then to give his life to the Lord God of Creation becoming a Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb Christian.

That is my prayer.

Then I can die a happy man.

May God have mercy on the soul of any that harm a hair on his head.

I felt a lot better about his safety before the SS was assigned to him all they will be doing is disarming men who would fight to protect him.

What young man wears a ring on his wedding ring finger at that age unless he is married? Obama’s ring was also inscribed with verses from the Quran.
