Mossad with drones
Don Surber
Remember the Munich Olympics? Palestinian terrorists took 11 members of the Israeli team hostage. The German polizei botched a rescue, and all the hostages were killed.
The Israeli government let the dogs out.
Mossad launched Operation Wrath of God. Over the next 16 years, Mossad tracked down and killed the terrorists and those who aided and abetted them.
President Trump let the dogs out. The military is taking care of the Islamic State. Trump wants results, not credit.
From CNN:
A US airstrike in southeast Afghanistan killed an al Qaeda leader responsible for the deadly attack on the Marriott Hotel in Pakistan, the Pentagon said.Qari Yasin was killed in a drone strike in Paktika Province on March 19, the Pentagon said late Saturday.The September 2008 suicide truck bombing at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad killed more than 50 people, including two US service members. It sparked a fire that charred the hotel, which is near the diplomatic section of Islamabad.Yasin is responsible for other carnage, including an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, which was visiting Lahore, Pakistan, in March 2009. In that incident, gunmen sprayed the team’s tour bus with bullets as it neared the stadium, killing eight people — six police officers and two civilians — and leaving several visiting players wounded.In his presidential campaign, Trump said he would let the generals run the show.
He is. They are.
Contrast that to Barack Obama who took personal credit for Osama bin Laden's death. Biden crazily praised Obama's courage. Huh? I thought it ghoulish that Obama and his team were photographed watching this on TV. In fact, I think the whole photo was staged afterward.
Meanwhile, Dear Leader failed to stop the Islamic State from growing from the JV squad into the Harlem Globetrotters of terrorism.
Trump turned the military operations over to the military.
From Agence France-Presse:
The Pentagon under President Donald Trump is enjoying greater freedom to run its wars the way it wants -- and not constantly seek White House approval on important decisions.Many in the military appreciate this increased autonomy, but critics charge it is raising civilian death rates, puts the lives of US troops at greater risk and leads to a lack of oversight of America's conflicts.Nowhere has the shift been more visible than in the fight against the Islamic State group in northern Syria, where under Barack Obama even minor tweaks to US plans underwent exhaustive White House scrutiny.Since Trump's inauguration, the Marine Corps has brought an artillery battery into Syria, and the Army has moved in hundreds of Rangers, bringing the total number of US forces there to almost 1,000.Commanders are weighing the possibility of deploying hundreds more, and the Pentagon this week announced it had provided artillery support and choppered local forces behind enemy lines in a bid to seize a strategic dam.The greater leeway marks a departure for the National Security Council (NSC), which coordinates foreign and military policy and implements the president's national security agenda.Under Obama, the NSC oversaw just about every aspect of America's wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, with then Pentagon chief Ash Carter was kept on a short leash.Trump, conversely, has repeatedly deferred to his defense secretary, Jim Mattis, on military moves.Mattis, a retired general, has delegated expanded authorities to his battlefield commanders."Jim Mattis has been given the latitude to conduct military operations in the way he sees best," Pentagon spokesman Chris Sherwood said.That is the way we should fight wars.
Not to prove presidential manhood, but to win. |
