Can Obama Keep His Generals In Check In The War Against Isis?

[mudwhistle]

So Obama refuses to put even special forces on the ground to help defeat ISIS? This guy is all political. He doesn't want to defeat anybody. What's the point of announcing no boots on the ground never?..The answer, politics. You liberals must be proud. Notice the weak Obama handshake. Like the general could crush him if he wanted and Obama and Biden know it.... LOL

The president promised no combat troops to fight ISIS, but his top general says he may recommend them. Why Obama and his commanders are not on the same page for the new war.
In his major address explaining America’s new war against ISIS, President Obama pledged that there would be no U.S. combat troops. On Tuesday, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he may recommend ground forces in the future.

The White House is seeking to gloss over the rift between the president and his top general, but it is clear that just below the waterline Obama is not on the same page as the commanders who will be leading the new fight. U.S. military officials and members of Congress have complained privately for weeks that Obama appears unwilling to commit the resources necessary to achieve his aim of defeating ISIS.

The Washington Post reported this week that Gen. Lloyd Austin, the general in charge of the military command that includes Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, recommended a war strategy with a small contingent of special operations forces fighting alongside Iraqi and Kurdish security forces. But Obama rejected that advice. Obama traveled to Tampa Wednesday to meet with Austin about the ISIS strategy on his own turf.

Can Obama Keep His Generals in Check in the War Against ISIS - The Daily Beast

You or the daily beast don't know what the **** you are talking about.

Special Ops is always an option but you don't freakin blab it to everyone.

And as for the handshake? Obama is straight, and he's pulled the General's hand over to him.

That doesn't appear weak at all.

Look at it again he's crushing the little girly man's hand

I did.

A. He taller then the general.
B. His hand is bigger.

I'm thinking the only thing on this General's mind is "Yes Sir".

And that's it.

The general could still kick that ******'s commie butt off the planet.

I hear that there has been a big remaking of the USA military from bottom to top . Lots of changes in the enlisted ranks and the higher levels like good and experienced Generals that are replaced by wishy washy type [yes men] Generals . We also get career type politicians like hagel and 'ketchup kerry' as well as an inexperienced CIC in charge of American war making strategies . We'll see what happens I guess !! Just my opinion on what I've seen and heard !!

The general respects the office. I highly doubt he respects this pathetic office holder

Oh man.

You just dissed 2 veterans..and I mean real live veterans that fought in a war and spilled their own blood.

Think Rumsfeld fought in any wars?

Cheney? Ashcroft?

Even Bush didn't fight in any wars.

Hagel and Kerry did their tours.

JRoc, let YOURS be the first boots on the ground, or your son's, or your father's or your daughter's or your brother's....

put something up, like your own life or your own family's life...

Put your money where your mouth is....

GO, GO DO IT.....

It's too easy for you to sit in your chair and call for the deaths of our husbands, our children, our fathers....

and let yours be the 14 year old Syrian girl sold into slavery after watching her father castrated and beheaded and her mother raped and stoned to death.
You are a farce care4all.
"lets care for those that need us.....as long as it doesn't cost ME anything"

That is a tragedy....do you want us to be the world policeman for ALL tragedies?

Only the ones that affect us.

Yeah we know Kerry betrayed his fellow soldiers and got a purple heart for a bee sting or something

 

[Plasmaball]

ISIS has been putting out propaganda films and they mention Obama's wishy washy approach. It's almost like he's openly telling them he won't stand in their way. I guess he doesn't want to offend them.

I love watching you people fall for everything

Didn't you fall for..
"I will work in a bi partisan way"
"I will change the way we do things in Washington"
"I will check all bills with a scalpel"
I will post all bills on line for 3 days before signing it"
"You will not lose your policy"

I can continue....but its not worth it.

Deflection noted....

That's the job of the military.... I know you liberals would prefer there be no military and just try to love everybody.. it's best to keep it in the real world shall we?

Exactly you *****...all talk no action. Rather see other people's loved ones die for your stupidity.

I bet he could too.

But Ronald Reagan is dead, and kicking his ******, commie ass would offend you folks, no?

 

[Katzndogz]

Whether you personally are willing to go to some other country and fight for someone else's freedom is only half of the question. Are you as willing under obama's decision making?

I hope not.

What was George Bush's purple heart for?

Oh yeah..he never fought in a war.

How about Ronald Reagan..

Oh yeah..he never fought in a war either.

John Kerry earned the right to ***** about the Generals (Who were not his brothers) in Vietnam...bub.

People are already dying in the most gruesome ways...

 

[bodecea]

No, the whole problem is that none of us are in to this....not this president nor the previous president.

If Bush had put the 250,000 boots on the ground when we went in to Iraq in the first place, and if he had listened to his generals on this, we would not be in this mess today....

no one wants to put the troops on the ground in the depth that is required to shock and awe, to truly shock and awe them in to immediate submission.... Not bush, Not Obama, Not the American people.

so we will once again have a bunch of our fathers and brothers and sons killed, FOR NOTHING.....

therefore, NOT ONE boot should be set on the ground over there, not one! It'll just be in VAIN if we do.

The reason we can't just go in and kick someones ass is people like you. You are the ones that keep us from winning. In order to win you need to be brutal and unapologetic in your tactics. You people can't handle that.

250k troops with orders to kill anything threatening to them would have this war over in two weeks. Yes, there will be innocent casualties and yes it's going to be ******* ugly but it can be done if you and your ilk have the stomach for it. You don't. So you will hamstring our people to the point they can't win.

Yeah...the troops will "all be home by Christmas"......where have we heard THAT one before?

Seems you missed something.

We did what we planned before Christmas.

We did not expect the insurgency.

Now.....before you go on an anti Bush rant...

Obama had no idea that ISIS would rise if he left Iraq.

We don't always have the best intelligence. Shit happens.

I wasn't planning on it.....why would you think I was?

It would take a jackhammer to get to him. I think the guards might hear it and give you a thumping.

For that retirement check the generals are content to let the boy play commander in chief.

 

[BlindBoo]

So nobody has actually given a reason for Obama to keep saying "we'll never put any ground troops in' even if he wont do it why say it if not for purely political reason. Why say anything? politics.... What a pathetic president we have....Plus he's a little girly man....probably the most effeminate we've ever had. Im sure the terrorist tremble over the name Obama

Maybe he thinks ISIS is listening.

 

[bendog]

Obama is so devious. When he says no troops, we all know that means eventually he'll send in troops.
