Did anyone else happen to catch General Honore on Fox Business, today?
He pretty much slammed Trump’s ‘tone’....echoing 0bola...regarding our need for diplomacy with our allies in the ME.
I was truly disappointed, as I recall being (somewhat) impressed with this General during the Katrina aftermath.
He went on to say that ‘this war on terrorism could take decades...maybe even three decades’ to complete. Unreal.
Charles Payne seemed floored about this, as well.
Well one thing is certain, that we need the Arab countries to fight them on their home turf, and not to sponsor extremism etc. There are lots of complications, such as recent news that Jordan was allowing our arms shipments to get pilfered and sold in the black market. But all this would seem to support Trumps idea that we should severely restrict immigration from this region until we get a handle on it. Pressuring our allies is absolutely necessary and the threat of a travel ban is a heck of a lot of pressure.
The fact that our weapons are stolen and sold, or as Trump said we abandoned thousands of working condition heavy machinery on the field just shows the level of incompetence, lack of accountability and/or lack of consideration in government. This kind of negligence permeates all layers and levels of government. There is no incentive at all for officials to do the right thing.
