The Warfighter - (take 2)

"This is so far outside of his wheelhouse, it is not even funny. And bottom line - it is not funny at all."

On Sunday evening a week ago, before the football game started, a grim faced President addressed the nation. He talked about the menace of the Islamic State, the attack in California, and how we are crushing them overseas. Lots of bombing runs, lots of drone strikes, and selected special forces exercises. One minor problem - nobody, except maybe sycophants, believed a word he was saying. 

Today, he must have received the buzz that his act was not playing well. So, he decided to visit the Pentagon. After meeting with his chiefs, he would again hold a news conference from the homeland of our warfighters. Surrounded by his national security staff as well as many in uniform, he again told the country that the war was going well and it would now go even better. Again a minor problem. Sources have leaked the purpose of the meeting was for the Commander-in-Chief to get on the same page as his troops. Why the Brits, the French, the Russians were having more success than us.

Here is the bottom line. I wish that Valerie Jarrett or somebody in his inner circle would tell the Commander-in-Chief those guys with all those funny looking scrambled egg designs on their hats know how to fight and win wars. They just need to be let go. Let them do their job. They are not trained to be PC - they are trained to kill people and break things. As as General Patton said, they also are not paid to have their people die on the field of battle. They are trained to make the enemy die on the field of battle.

The Commander-in Chief needs to make a decision. Does he want to fight the weather, or does he want to fight and defeat those who want to destroy this nation. I know, I know. He hates this crap. It was not in his script. By now, he should have been well on the way to forging our "One World Government". In Obama's mind, war sucks. He does not understand why it has to be. Well, Mr. President, join the crowd. Most of the rest of us think that war sucks also. And nobody thinks that more than your warfighters at the Pentagon. Because many have been there. But when war does come knocking at our door, we need to know how to face it and then defeat it. And quickly.

We need to defeat the Islamic State for once and for all. And not just in the Middle East, but worldwide. So, we need a Warfighter as our Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief owns the direction of the military. Time to figure out which direction is "True North" Mr. President. The time is now. And if we don't do it now, the place will be here.
