Wow, check this out! http://news.yahoo.com/us-strike-kills-9-al-qaida-militants-yemen-185147837.html Looks like Obama's killing them ALMOST as fast as GW Bush made them!
Do you suppose he's actually letting the generals do their jobs?
Of course this all comes at a price.
http://www.unknownnews.org/casualties.htmlFollowing 'the generals' advice is the worst thing any President of the U.S. could do.
"It’s really quite interesting how resilient and fierce they’ve been," U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Ralph J. Jodice II told the
New York Times. "We’re all surprised by the tenacity of the pro-Gadhafi forces."
.....the key word in the general’s statement is "surprised." Aside from destruction, about the only truth of war is surprise. As Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, Prussian Army chief of staff, and one of the great military minds of the 19th century, once noted, "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy."
It appears that when the President made those comments, he had been listening to generals, always a very bad idea. President Johnson listened to generals in Vietnam, and they told him some variation of what our current generals obviously told Obama: Piece of cake. We’ll bomb the bejesus out of these Arabs, and in a few days they’ll turn tail and run for the sand dunes."
