Gen. Flynn: Not Sure Who U.S. Is Fighting Because Obama Won't Say 'Radical Islam'
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a top military Trump advisor made a fool of himself when he told CNN that the U.S. military has a "difficult time understanding what it is that we're facing" because President Obama won't use the phrase "radical Islam" to describe terrorists like ISIS.
If a general or any commanding officer in our military doesn't know who and what the target is? The target we've been fighting since the attacks on 9/11? After President Bush invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq? Because of a catch phrase? They probably should retire. Why was he promoted in the first place?
Retired Lt. Gen. Flynn has not been regarded as a reliable spokesperson by his peers, so statements like this explain a lot.
He has called President Obama a “liar,” declared the U.S. justice system “corrupt” and insisted that he was pushed out of his assignment as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency because of his views on radical Islam. The claim has left former superiors seething, including Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to current and former officials who said Flynn was removed because of management problems.
Did he not know who the enemy was all those years in service?
Maybe that's why he was fired?
