What say you, Gen. Mattis?

‘Actually Stunning’: MS NOW Host Shocked By Trump’s Former Defense Secretary’s Blunt Critiques on Iran War​

What we’re seeing is a situation where targetry never makes up for a lack of strategy. And by that I mean 15,000 targets have been hit. There have been significant military successes, but they are not matched by strategic outcomes. Now, some of the strategic outcomes early on, unconditional surrender, regime change, we’re going to dictate who the next supreme leader is — those were clearly nonsense. Those were delusional and you don’t hear those bandied about anymore. There are some that have been achieved in the military realm. They no longer have a Navy of any note. They no longer have the numbers of ballistic missiles and the defense infrastructure they had before. But the bottom line is it is not matched by success in the strategic area, and that’s a bad thing. That means that we’re now in a position where either one side or the other side escalates, probably to be matched, and you saw that threat rise over the last 48 hours. It’s been pushed off five days. But right now, we’re in kind of a show me. The one side is saying, you show me that you’re willing to do something that we want. The other side is looking for the same thing in return, and neither one of them is making a move in that direction.

Katy Tur Stunned By Jim Mattis's Blunt Critique of Trump

MS NOW's Katy Tur called it "stunning" to hear former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis so bluntly criticize President Donald Trump's handling of the Iran war.

Jim is no fan of trump. We know that from his characterization of Don as possessing the traits of a fascist. I would love to see Jim debate the former Faux weekend host about the war.........or any subject really. He's known for being well read. Which automatically gives him a leg up on Pete and every other member of the regime.

Mattis reportedly tells Woodward that Trump is a threat to U.S.​

Trump had two Senate-confirmed Defense secretaries. If Bob Woodward’s reporting is correct, both see the Republican as a threat to the United States.

Yeah, that jackass can eat a bag of dicks.

I don't remember seeing anything about that. I've always read that he's well respected and willing to do what's right not just what the government tells him.
