CNN - Politics: Reports on remarks by former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Secretary stated, " ... likened Obama to President Lyndon B. Johnson in what he called "micromanagement" of military policy and targeting during the Vietnam War. "
Lets Get Real:
This should worry President Obama, no President when it comes to Foreign Affairs wants to be likened to President Johnson and his failure in Vietnam. The President should consider how he behaves with the military, he needs to make the decision then leave it to the Defence Department to follow through, not think he is General who knows better that the high ups in the Pentagon. The Vietnam War was a major failure for US foreign policy, in many respects the Wars now in Iraq and Syria are more serious, as stated IS with billion of dollars in oil revenue would be threat to the Middle East and Europe. Thus they have to be taken out, and finished, there can be no talks, no back channels, this WAR the US has to win. Thus President Obama should take the advice of Secretary Gates and give orders and then leave it alone, Obama does not want Iraq and Syria to turn in to Vietnam.
