Pentagon Official: Obama's ISIS Strategy Is Doomed To Fail
[Daily Caller] Joseph Miller is the pen name for a ranking Department of Defense official with a background in U.S. special operations and combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has worked in strategic planning.After weeks of back and forth, on Wednesday night President Barack Obama outlined his strategy for "degrading" and "destroying" the Islamic State, and on the 13th anniversary of 9/11, Americans were able to finally wake up in a country that had a strategy for the most recent Islamist threat. The problem is that the strategy -- to provide logistical support for Iraqi forces, limited air strikes, and a strong Free Syrian Army -- is a foolish strategy that is unlikely to succeed. Motion should not be confused with progress. Victory over radical Islam has never been the regime's the goal. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-09-12 |
