Retired General: Obama’s ISIS Strategy Doesn’t Have ‘A Snowball’s Chance In Hell Of Succeeding’
The man who was the top Marine general from 2006 until his retirement in 2010 says President Barack Obama’s strategy to defeat the terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is doomed to fail.
“I don’t think the president’s plan has a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding,” retired Marine General James Conway, who served as the 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps during the end of the Bush administration and the beginning of the Obama administration, said at the Maverick PAC Conference in Washington, D.C. Friday, according to a source in attendance.
“You just don’t take anything off the table up front, which it appears the administration has tried to do,” retired Gen. James Mattis, who served as head of Central Command from 2010 until his retirement in 2013, told the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. “Specifically, if this threat to our nation is determined to be as significant as I believe it is, we may not wish to reassure our enemies in advance that they will not see American ‘boots on the ground,’” he added. “If a brigade of our paratroopers or a battalion landing team of our Marines would strengthen our allies at a key juncture and create havoc/humiliation for our adversaries, then we should do what is necessary with our forces that exist for that very purpose.”


Wild Thing’s comment………
Can you imagine having a CIC that does not listen to his Generals?? That is what we have now with Obama.

Interesting on how all these active duty and retired senior officers are saying Obama’s plan is a failure and he’s not listening to them.

Hitler told his admirals and generals what to do in WW II and we know the outcome! In 44 days the US SENATE is GOP baby!

Like HITLER in WW II who told his generals what to do (we know the outcome), Caesar Obola is doing the same – a community organizer directing an AIR WAR minus the A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthogs and B-52 buffs!!!!!!

I would support a military coup at this point. obama is doing and has done critical damage to America. The weak kneed politicians in DC do little to nothing to oppose him. Perhaps only the military can save the Republic from destruction.
