General Flynn was referring to General Allen.... right ? Mr. Flynn, who used to lead the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Obama administration, is now a vocal critic of the president’s strategy to combat the Islamic State -- a strategy Mr. Allen helped craft as the special envoy of a coalition assembled to the eradicate the terrorist group, Fox News reported Friday. "General Allen as a retired officer was in charge of our current strategy for well over a year ... and during that period of time the rise of radical Islamism and [the Islamic State], you know, it exponentially grew," Mr. Flynn said.
