From the Washington Post, September 5th… By
retired Major General Robert Scales
Speaking after recent conversations with both active duty
and retired military leaders regarding intervention in Syria, Scales says:
They (military leaders) are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the
Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense.
None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So
far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the
element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable
objective.
They are repelled by the hypocrisy of a media blitz that
warns against the return of Hitlerism but privately acknowledges that the
motive for risking American lives is our “responsibility to protect” the
world’s innocents…
They are outraged by the fact that what may happen is an act
of war and a willingness to risk American lives to make up for a slip of the
tongue about “red lines.” These acts would be for retribution and to restore
the reputation of a president…
