I agree with McInnerney (sp?) on FNC this morning.....Dempsey and probably got calls from the WH to change their “opinion”.

Oh, big time. I am wondering when Chuck the Clown Hagel who served in Vietnam will be told to renege his assertions.

General Short didn’t see a threat either.

BINGO!

Wonder what Obama has on him.

Just a few days ago:

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman: ‘Open Borders’ Make ISIL an ‘Immediate Threat’

“General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon briefing Thursday that “because of open borders and immigration issues,” the Islamic State of Iraq is an “immediate threat.”

I don't think it is a change of opinion, but a change in wording which moves the bar.... Typical Obama/Jarret.

Now air strikes can only occur in Syria if ISIS is a direct threat to the US. In IRAQ, strikes are justified as National Security Interest.

Here is my theory. Obama does not want to defeat ISIS because then he has to deal with the "IRAQ Question" - how to unite Iraq. However, Iraq is lost: Kurds are as strong as ever with Turkish support; Sunni will unite against ISIS but aa SUNNI solidarity movement, SHIAs will be left with a smaller Iraq with Baghdad as the capital. OBAMA does not want to be known as the guy who lost Iraq so a long war is in his interest.

Dempsey has been a coward ever since he got the job from Obama and his traitorous advisors.

He is no longer allowed to call himself a “Marine”. He’s a foo, gutless and a disgrace to the service. My Marine friends were and are still fighters, despite their age.
