Very reminiscent of LBJ’s “Tuesday Lunch Club” who approved every airstrike and bombing plan during Vietnam. Last I checked, it’s not a good approach for winning a conflict... but then, Obama’s goal isn’t “winning.” In his perverted, marxist “mind,” the only acceptable outcome is a beatdown for America.
Yup
By the time Obama finally makes a decision the ISIS terrorists are dying of old age in a rest home in Qatar
Those who do not learn from the idiocy of LBJ are doomed to repeat his disastrous mistakes.
I heard that the #2 in ISIS was formerly embedded with US Marines in Fallujah. He knows our tactics and procedures very well and had been able to minimize ISIS losses because our military is unable to change the way they do things.
Of course, the military’s hands are tied by the Obama Administration.
I predict our activities against ISIS will slow down really fast after the election.
The military should be used to it by now. Can nobody find a better source than the Daily Beast?
...and yet, not a single member of the JCS has resigned in protest. They need to put their stars on the table or keep bending at the knee of their boy king.
Boy I can not stand micro-managers. The Commonwealth’s Attorney(s) for whom I worked were not.
“and what exactly those fighters will do when they return to Syria.”
Riiiiiggggghhhht.
Obama believes if it was good enough for Johnson it is good enough for him.
The air strikes are for appearances only, nothing more. Military sources have stated something like this would require hundreds of strikes per day to destroy and degrade ISIL.
I knew from the beginning of this quagmire that øbola would not destroy his creation.
First thoughts on my mind, LBJ.
I wasn't aware that the NSC was in the chain of command.
Clear failure by Hagel to put Susan Rice in her place. You can say a lot of things about Gates and Panetta, but they did not put up with this kind of interference from the WH apparatchiks.
Barry doesnt want his fellow Islamists hurt.
I have a haunting image sticking in my head from last week. It is the memory of a B-1 circling at what appears to be a low altitude over Korbani doing what I think must be trying to spot a target. I shudder to think what kind of conversation was going on and with whom and where.
Frustrated? Not frustrated enough to exercise moral courage and leave their stars on the table. I guess they figure they would be replaced by someone even more pliable and foolish though? It is probable.
