Obama
Makes INSANE Move Against U.S. Military…This WILL Cost Lives, 11/5/15
(Allen West) – I must say, it would
just be better if President Obama declined to make any comments about national
security and military operations. His continued commentary indicates someone
who hasn’t a doggone clue and displays an unimaginable level of confusion and
incompetence. Even worse, the sons of others will have to pay the price for his
inane and disconcerting actions.
As reported by The Hill, “President Obama said Monday that U.S.
special operations forces in Syria will not be fighting “on the front lines”
against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants. During an interview
with NBC News, the president pushed back against the idea that the new
deployment violates his pledge not to put “boots on the ground” in Syria to
fight ISIS. “We are not putting U.S. troops on the front lines fighting
firefights with ISIL,” Obama said, using a different acronym for the group.
“I’ve been consistent throughout
that we are not going to be fighting, like we did in Iraq, with battalions and
occupations,” he added. “That doesn’t solve the problem.” Obama commented for
the first time on his decision to send a small group of special operations
forces to Syria, a move that deepened U.S. involvement in the conflict there in
a way he has previously avoided. Fewer than 50 troops will help train, advise
and assist local forces fighting the Islamic extremist group on the ground.
But for years, Obama has resisted calls
to send U.S. ground forces into Syria beyond one-time raids. The president is
escalating his involvement in Syria at a time when Russia is conducting a
bombing campaign to prop up Syrian President Bashar Assad against opposition
forces threatening to remove him from power. Obama, however, denied the move
amounted to a change in the administration’s strategy in the war-torn country. “Keep in mind that we have run special ops
already and really this is just an extension of what we are continuing to do,”
he said.”
First of all, for President Obama to
make the statement “we are not going to be fighting, like we did in Iraq”
reflects a politician locked in on his ideology and not reality. Fighting an
enemy has nothing to do with what someone previously did.
As a matter of fact, the fighting in
Iraq had eradicated the enemy from the battlefield – al-Qaida in Iraq was
defeated. And so here we have President Obama so concerned about not being
President George W. Bush that he would foolishly surrender the gains made by
the blood of our “fighting” men and women.
And for his pledge to not put “boots
on the ground” — that ship has long since sailed, as we saw with the Delta
Force hostage rescue operation in which a decorated American, MSG Joshua
Wheeler, lost his life.
Mr. President, the message I need
you to understand is clear, so listen up. You do not get to decide from the
White House what the “front lines” are. If you do not want our men deployed
into a combat zone to get engaged in a firefight with the enemy, then don’t
deploy them.
Our troops are not there for you to
use as pawns in some game that enables you to save face. We are well beyond the
“train, advise, and assist” mission. This is all about fighting. If these men
are being deployed not to engage the enemy in firefights, then what do you want
them to do? Direct traffic?
This is how it works. The nature of
the Middle East is that people there only respect strength and might. The Kurds
are renowned fighters; they do not need babysitters. No one will respect our
troops if you send them over to just coordinate delivery of supplies and ammo.
If that’s the case, send UPS.
Don’t tell the families of our best
warriors that they’redeploying to stand by and watch. So what happens when the
enemy shoots at our troops, huh Mr. President? That’s called a firefight. Do
they run away or do they return fire and kill the enemy?
When Obama is sitting back here safe
and sound protected by U.S. Secret Service agents, how dare he send our
warriors into harm’s way and with the caveat that they’re not there to be
fighting — this is beyond insane. And we should want battalions to
engage ISIS — those are ground formations that will bring about the destruction
of the enemy, if that’s what we truly want…something tells me Obama doesn’t
want that.
Instead, President Obama is making
jokes with his sycophant kool-aid drinkers about the CNBC debate. Sir, you want
to impress me, go into a combat zone, or stop acting as if you know how to
operate within one.
Yes, President Obama is weak and
ISIS, Putin, Iran, and China are laughing at him. Can you imagine what Vladimir
Putin thinks of him deploying troops and telling them they’re not there to get
into a firefight with the enemy? I’m just waiting for some chucklehead liberal
progressive socialist to explain to me how any of this makes sense.
Someone has to speak up for our men
and women in uniform because what Barack Obama is doing is simply criminal.
Sending men into harm’s way and telling them not to fight — there is no excuse
for this other than Obama being more concerned about himself than those special
operators. And where are the leaders in uniform who will stand up and refuse
the order based on this guidance? Is there no one who will look Obama in the
eye and tell him, “that dog don’t hunt?” I don’t expect SecDef Carter to do so,
but surely, there is one four-star general who will finally say “ENOUGH?”
“Even though the U.S. troops do not
have an explicit “combat mission,” U.S. officials have acknowledged they could
find themselves in harm’s way. “There is no denying the amount of risk they are
taking on here and they will be equipped to defend themselves,” White House
press secretary Josh Earnest said last Friday.”
The Obama administration is playing
a deadly game with the lives of our troops. It’s not about being equipped to
defend themselves. It’s about having leadership that sends them into doing what
they want to do, what they do best: find the enemy and use every available
weapons system to kill them. That’s the message we need to send, but we will
not until we get rid of sheep trying to lead lions.
