Imagine....a Brit military historian.
He has measured Obama, and found him to be wanting.
1. "Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the presidents strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled Americas position in the world.
2. .... Obama is chronically incapable of military strategy and falls far short of his predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britains most senior military advisors.
3. ...and Obamas attempts to intervene on behalf of the Syrian rebels has left them in a far worse position than they were before.
4. The extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States closest military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the Presidents foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of the military.
5. ... cited the crazy handling of the Syrian crisis as the most egregious example of a fundamental collapse in military planning that began in the aftermath of 9/11. If anything its gone backwards instead of forwards, Obama seems to be almost chronically incapable of doing this.
6. Bush ...at least he had a clear sense of what he wanted to do in the world. Obama has no sense of what he wants to do in the world, he said.
7. ...undermined Americas military reputation and destabilized the Middle East, said Strachan. What hes done in talking about Red Lines in relation to Syria has actually devalued the deterrent effect of American military capability...
8. Hes increased the likelihood that if there is a change of regime in Syria that it will be an Islamic fundamentalist one.
9. He criticized the way General Stanley McCrystal was forced to resign after making unflattering remarks about his political bosses in Washington. The concern about the military speaking out shows a lack of democratic and political maturity.
10. Winston Churchill held daily strategy meetings with his chairman of the Chiefs of Staff during the Second World War, which encouraged an open exchange of views."
