A STRATEGY OF DEFEAT
By Michael

As
an officer in the Military Intelligence branch of
the Army, I was trained to find out everything I
could about the enemies of our country including
their location, capabilities, probable tactics, and
their strengths and weaknesses. This information was
then provided to commanders in the field who
determined the strategy and tactics to use to defeat
them.
Today’s Military Intelligence officers and field
commanders are doing the same thing, but they have a
major problem. The Commander in Chief of the U. S.
military is the President of the United States who
has no military experience, and has shown himself to
have nothing but utter distain for the members of
our military. He has refused to accept their
recommendations on how to defeat Al Qaeda, the
Taliban, and now ISIS.
He
doesn’t even go to most of the intelligence
briefings that are prepared for his benefit, and has
decided to take personal command of the fight
against our most dangerous enemy yet, the brutal
jihadists that make up ISIS. He has publicly
promised the American people and the world that his
purpose is to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS,
but will not allow our military to take the action
necessary to accomplish either of those goals.
By
personally controlling the air campaign Obama has
ordered very limited strikes, mostly at night,
against vacant buildings, parked and empty vehicles,
grain silos and a few oil fields. As a result,
minimum damage has been done to both equipment and
enemy capabilities, and the President seems to want
to avoid killing ISIS soldiers.
The
air campaign has now been going on for 60 days, but
less than 400 air strikes have actually been
launched, and Obama has repeatedly assured the enemy
that no American ground forces will be used against
them. So we are averaging six air strikes per day;
that are not even slowing down the jihadists forces.
They continue to advance on Baghdad and will soon
take the Syrian city of Kobani where the Kurds are
fighting to keep the city from falling and prevent
another ISIS massacre of innocent civilians who are
not devoted to the Jihadists version of Islam.
It
is clear that the President has no intention of
defeating or degrading ISIS. He has other priorities
such as purging the American military of thousands
of combat trained and ready U.S. citizen soldiers
and replacing them with illegals that may not even
speak English and have no loyalty to the country. He
is also busy granting illegal amnesty to people that
have broken our laws by crossing our border, which
Obama has made sure is open to all comers, including
gang members, potential terrorists, and children
carrying diseases that are paralyzing and killing
American children.
Of
course we can’t ignore his other priorities, such as
assuring the American people that the beheading of a
grandmother in Oklahoma by a recent convert to
radical Islam was an act of “workplace violence” and
not an act of terrorism by a member of a “peaceful
religion.” Then there is his golf game, and
attending fund raisers for Democrats in the fall
election.
All
of this leads me to the conclusion that the so
called ISIS strategy in one of defeat, but not of
ISIS. It is designed to fail leaving Americans and
people all over the world vulnerable to continuous
attack. Obama is not acting as our Commander in
Chief or even our President. In fact, we still have
no idea who he really is.
