National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Sunday that President Trump’s United Nations speech will focus on promoting and protecting American prosperity and suggested that the White House’s National Security Council is better after having removed adviser Steve Bannon and others who pushed “their own narrow agendas.”
“The National Security Council, I think, has served the president well in bringing him multiple options. There were some who tried to operate outside of that process for their own narrow agendas. And that didn’t serve the president well,” McMaster told “Fox News Sunday,” in response to questions about his policy clashes with Bannon.

If Comey were still the FBI director, the whole Mueller wheel-spin would not be smoking up the air [with the ashes of the republican taxpayer’s hard earned money].
What specifically did McMaster do to Israel
I don’t know
Does he dislike England or Japan too
It’s always different when actually doing the job and to think that he has to undo 8+ years of decay...
You have to figure, he did say he used to buy politicians so he wasn’t totally naive about the swamp but the one thing that echoes within my mind whenever I hear of someone being fired is that he said he knew great people. Lots of great people. I think he was abandoned or has to hire too many people.

“This a-hole in a uniform is the enemy. He works for mass Mexican invasion of the United States, endless wars to prop up Muslim dictators in Saudi Arabia, and the continued immivasion of Europe by the entire third world.”

Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror and Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman explain why they think US National Security Adviser Gen. (ret.) H.R. McMaster is Israel friendly.
It was sad to see scurrilous and harmful personal attacks launched by some American Jews and even a few Israelis at US National Security Adviser Gen. (ret.) H.R. McMaster. A recent column in The Jerusalem Post even called for his dismissal.
But such an attack is not mere opinion; it is an offense against the truth, against basic decency and against the best interests of Israel as we see them. In the opinion of many in the professional Israeli defense establishment who have come to know Gen. McMaster over the years, directly and indirectly, the general is a friend.
Israeli officers and scholars who have worked with McMaster say that he was always highly appreciative of Israel and of its contributions to the security of the US. They attest to his broad support for and admiration of the IDF. It is absurd to assert that all these years, hidden underneath McMaster’s friendliness was a grudge against Israel that the general is now free to act on. We reject this churlish insinuation. And whatever the reasons may have been for his decision to relieve certain senior National Security Council officials of their duties, antisemitic or anti-Israeli sentiments were certainly not part of the calculus.
Israelis and friends of Israel in the US do not need to agree with every position McMaster has taken, nor should the general be immune to specific policy criticism, such as the Trump administration’s failure to put forward coherent policies on Syria or Iran. But McMaster is not an enemy. It is wrong to assault his personal reputation, especially when the attack is based on hearsay and driven by parties with an axe to grind.
To be drawn so blatantly and aggressively into a personal personnel feud, inside an administration which is still (regrettably) in its formative stages, is both morally and professionally wrong.
McMaster, and the other generals who now form the backbone of the Trump administration, should be treated as representatives of an American defense establishment whose positive views of Israel are by now an important aspect of the special relationship, and whose importance within the American system has grown steadily since 9/11.
The days of anti-Israel attitudes in the Pentagon are long gone. So are the days in which Americans reviled their own soldiers for the entanglement in Vietnam. Men in uniform are now America’s heroes, and Trump’s vital assistants. Therefore, to invent or endorse baseless allegations against one of their best is morally reprehensible and politically irresponsible.

Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror was National Security Adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and head of the research division in IDF Military Intelligence.
Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman was deputy director for foreign policy and international affairs at the National Security Council and held senior posts in IDF Military Intelligence for over 20 years.
It’s the echo chamber effect by a bunch of freepers who knew exactly nothing about him before he was appointed NSA, and who now feel obligated to share that vast knowledge with the rest of us.
oh, crud. I’ve read most of the replies and was going to start a thread from Breitbart about the same topic but when I read what mcmaster said about Bannon’s narrow agenda, I realized that mcmaster is pulling a dem ploy when they accuse Trump (or another republican) of doing exactly what they are doing. IT’S mcmaster WHO IS PUSHING HIS OWN AGENDA. Bannon was upholding Trump’s campaign agenda.
McMaster Bashes Steve Bannon, Says He Had ‘Narrow’ Agenda Different from Trump
Sontagg,
I usually don’t reply to Never Trumper fools such as you, but in your case, I’ll make an exception.
The reasons there is no video of the battle for you to “critique” (as REMF Chairborne Rangers such as you are want to do) are two-fold.
1: There were no GoPro cameras 26 years ago!
2: Significant parts of the battle were fought after dark!
I’m sorry that McMaster’s cavalrymen weren’t able to shine bright lights out into the desert at 73 Easting and make home movies for you to get your jollies watching them, but they were rather too busy killing the Iraqi Republicans Guard members to take time out to give you another toy for your video toy box.
If you really want to know what happened at 73 Easting, I suggest you read this. (It contains words of more than 3 syllables, but I suggest you try to muddle through it anyway.)

If you still need to see a video, I have personally selected this one for you. You should have no trouble comprehending it. It’s perfect for your comprehension level.

Finally, if you still have need to attack Gen McMaster, why not do so, in person, at a 2ACR reunion. It’s easy to attack from behind a coward’s anonymity, as you do, but there at the reunion, a few of the Eagle Troop Troopers can “adjust your attitude” for you.
Trust me, it would give you lasting memories.
McMaster pushing his “own narrow agenda”.
Dictated in secret by his wealthy foreign donors.
And it’s so secret no one knows about it!
LOL... you already said it all to me last month.
I’ve been Pro Trump since day one; actually since 2011 when he was No. 1 in the presidential polls.
You already sent me this McMaster coverup crap. He’s a Globalist.
So are you if you are for McMaster. Grow up.
I am not “for” McMaster. He is not a “Globalist.” He is a “Realist.”
And I am in favor of reality, not your juvenile paranoia that somehow McMaster’s accomplishments must be made up because there is no video of them.
By your logic. Washington must have been a scammer too, because there is no video of him winning the Revolutionary War.
LOL.
Just as I said last month, in the Vietnam War, we had pictures. Plenty of ‘em.
Embedded photogs. Even McCain’s Forrestal “accident” was recorded.
Consumer video cameras had been in place for nearly a decade in the early 90’s...
There is NO way there is no photographic record of these HUGE TANK BATTLES that McMaster apparently won. Again, we were doing aerial recon; where is some photographic memorialization of these amazing battles?
Truly, in the collective memory, all I got is COURAGE UNDER FIRE and Tom Clancy novels. All fiction. Oh, and McMaster’s book report.
Really? This is crap.
You can be a Patriot or a Globalist but you can’t be both.
A fascist doesn't always know he is a fascist.
He Bert if it swims like a duck....
The real military is run by O-3’s and E-5’s.
Bannon made a mistake there. He is still right 97% of the time. Globalist are wrong 100% of the time.
