Why doesn't Obama Listen to Military & National Security Advisors Re: War On ISIS Terrorists??

Thanks, I saw that, Sgt Tom Cunnally. Do you think that going to war against Syria (and all the countries and all the people around the globe who would join in) is going to make America a prosperous, safe and secure place to live?

Capt Michael Greene - Yes if it means wiping ISIS off the map. Destroy ISIS's central command structure and it's networks & we could well feel safer and secure ...IMHO.

Sgt Tom Cunnally - Maybe so. It's a risk that we don't have to take. We never should have invaded the Middle East in the first place. They were happy killing each other.

Capt Michael Greene - Sometimes the risk is worth it ..

Would like to know what Gen Dunford is thinking now from his position on the inside.

Capt Tom Brown - He gave the commencement speech at BC High School a few weeks ago.

I appeal to both their education and their long experience. And now I'll point out that the view from the ground, while both unique and important, is quite limited. The view from a Situation Room incorporates all the thousands of views from the ground, with experienced analysts to give it context, too.

Remember, the military is not the thing itself. We don't even work to get toward a national goal. Our military goal is just one piece of a global strategy and we are just one tool of many. I would laugh if a statesman were asked to prepare a missile for launch, but I would also laugh if a missileman were asked to negotiate a SOFA with a country.

Capt Michael Greene - Ask yourself if Obama is correctly managing the war vs ISIS by directing and coordinating the Pentagon, State Dept, CIA, & FBI & allies in the regions to defeat this threat to our homeland. You're seeing Obama's foreign policies come under attack by his administration & retired Military which is very troubling to our nation. .

CIA Director Brennan and Obama are both miles apart for their assessment of the war vs ISIS. That has to be something you ought to consider Capt Greene or maybe you have?????State & CIA are not in sync with Obama??? Why?? Obama is too timed and cautious these last 214 days of his Presidency and worried more about his legacy is what our nation probably thinks.

Sgt Tom Cunnally - I won't know the answer to that until all the private conversations are declassified decades from now. Consider our nation's hero, JFK and his blockade of Cuba. For decades we thought that Moscow gave in to JFK's toughness. Only in recent years did we learn that JFK secretly agreed to remove missiles from Turkey and Italy. But until all the data are public, Obama's naysayers have free reign to say anything they want.

Gotta go to dinner with my kids. Enjoy your father's day.

Capt Michael Greene - Ok & you do the same
