Pentagon Official Reacts Angrily to Obama’s ISIS Strategy Claim: ‘What the F— Was That?’
Fox News via pjmedia.com ^ | june 8, 2015 | Fox News via Debra Heine

On Special Report tonight, Charles Krauthammer noted that Obama occasionally stumbles on the truth, as he did when he admitted that his administration does not yet have a strategy to defeat ISIS; but as is always the case with this president it’s never his fault when something goes wrong.

“The reason is Obama’s entire strategy rests on the notion that trained Iraqis under this government are going to carry the fight to ISIS,” Krauthammer said, noting that strategy has failed in Mosul, Ramadi and Fallujah.

“This is a country that was abandoned by Obama in 2011 and threw in its lot with other players. And now we’re trying to reclaim that. It cannot be done,” Krauthammer said.

“The idea that he would now put the blame on the Pentagon for having lacked in offering him plans is exactly consistent with Obama’s method, which is to always blame others.”

One military official reacted angrily to Obama’s blamesmanship:

“What the f— was that,” the official told Fox News. “We have given him lots of options, he just hasn’t acted on them.”

Meanwhile, an overwhelming majority of the Americans agree with Obama that he has no strategy to defeat ISIS. An astounding 71% say he does not have a clear strategy, while a mere 19% say he does.

Hah! I know exactly what must be done, how to do it, and when to start (NOW). I have a better plan then Obama, who doesn’t want to harm ISIS. I’m sure the generals at the Pentagon would agree with me.

It’s a scorched Earth policy. Make ISIS GLOW GREEN!

B. Hussein Obama’s strategy is to leave Isis alone.

Quite simply the worst president in American history. Even that inept buffoon Jimmy Carter looks like a great statesman in comparison, and I did not think such a thing was possible.

Obama is a petulant child. Always was, and always will be.

He does have a clear strategy to deal with ISIS. Ignore it and it will go away as he does with most problems.

No kidding. It makes Carter’s bungled Iranian hostage rescue look like a masterful and heroic attempt.

Carter was actually capable of learning in office. After the Rooskies invaded Afghanistan, his tune and focus changed big time. Obama has learned exactly nothing and has actively worked against doing so.

It’s just amazing how a crappy potus like Carter can look decent by comparison.

King Obama is either for ISIS or against. Since he is not against then he must be for them. That means his is a terrorists. Wake up America!

I work in the Pentagon, and I can attest Obama was given A LOT of options. He has chosen to run this conflict by his kids in the National Security Council.

My experience in the Pentagon tells me that Obama is lying.

I’m still seeing Red over the Cromnibus and write my IDIOT Congressman (that I Campaigned for) weekly reminding him that WE see right through him.
