Military source: ISIS hostages dispersed after revelation of Foley rescue mission:

Hello USA’s finest. Remember what I said in my blog below. Forget about the news media and blabbing all of your critical information. The element of surprise is the way to go.

This aspect of transparency is not what the administration should be letting out.

You might as well send these terrorists a complete itinerary of all of you future activities for the next 3 years that way they can adjust.

Lawmakers express tentative relief, reservations over Obama’s ISIS plan:

First of all I don’t know why the politicians are called “lawmakers”, they should be called “lawbreakers” the way so many of them conduct their business.

Mr. Obama’s strategy in getting rid of ISIS has a lot of holes in it.

I have always maintained that no-one should be elected to president of the USA that did not serve in the military.  That is like a construction worker giving advice to a ballet dancer.

To start with no one should ever call up their adversary in advance and tell them “in one month I am coming to kick your ass”.  This forewarning gives them time to implement evasive strategies.

When I was in the USMC, periodically we would get a visit from the IG (Inspecting General). They would tell us 2 weeks in advance that the general was coming to the base for an inspection. That gave to base commander time to paint the buildings, make sure the grass was mowed and get everything “squared away.”

If I were the general I would want to show up totally unannounced for the element of surprise and to see how conditions really were.

Under normal conditions, in the mess hall we had ketchup bottles with holes punched in the lids for salt and pepper shakers. We ate off of tin trays and on bare table tops and had cows tongue twice a week.

When the IG came, we had crystal salt and pepper shakers, ceramic plates, table cloths on the tables and served a steak dinner. All a smoke screen. The old boy should have visited more often.

Just like the warning the enemy in advance, the base commander had 2 weeks to prepare for the IG’s visit. There was not element of surprise.

Any and all action against ISIS or any other enemy of the USA should be executed with secrecy, expedience, the element of surprise and catching them with their pants down. It is very hard to run with your pants around your ankles.

Be that as it may, I think that Mr. O’s strategy has a lot to be desired. Our enemies should be hit by surprise, as hard as we can and continue the assaults as long as they exist. I really don’t know who his advisers are or if he has any at all?

The old say “never kick a guy when he is down” does not apply to combat. After your enemy is down, you kick him in the face, stab him in the heart and shoot his again to make sure they do not get up again. Some people may think this is all a video game; not, it is for keeps.

The only rules that should apply to combat is, there are no rules and winning and all costs.

It seems like everyone in the world knows that except the USA who has to play by what the guide book says. This is one reason or enemies have succeeded in so many areas because they know our fight men and women have their hands tied.

Fear and respect go hand in hand.
