Earlier today CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Corey Lewandowski (Trump) and Christine Quinn (Clinton) to get each campaigns perspective on current discussions of U.S. foreign policy and military use (video after background).
general john allenNotice how no-one, unfortunately even Lewandowski, references President Obama specifically selecting General John Allen in 2014 to lead the White House coordinated campaign against ISIS.

Flashback Sept 11th 2014 – U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Thursday that retired Marine Lieutenant General John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as nations begin to determine what part they will play.

The appointing of General Allen specifically followed an alarming admission by President Obama himself, on August 28th 2014, that the White House had no strategy to defeat ISIS. Watch this to refresh:

Timeline:


♦ August 28th 2014 – President Obama: “we do not yet have a strategy”
♦ Sept. 8th 2014 – President Obama calls an ISIS strategy meeting:
strategy-1

(link to understand roles of participants)

♦ Sept. 11th 2014 – White House: “General John Allen will lead our ISIS strategy”.
♦ October 2014 – White House Spox, Jay Carney: “our strategy is reliant upon something that is not yet in place“.  See the next brief video:

Nine months go by.

♦  It’s now June 8th, 2015 – President Obama says: “We don’t yet have a complete strategy to fight ISIS.” Watch:

I’m using video(s) so you can see it in the Obama administration’s own words (not my interpretation of them), and also because it’s essential to drive the primary lead-in point in the Chris Cuomo video from today.
Everything above sets a stage of reality for this CNN interview today.
Just Watch It:

Now.
Deep breath.
Do you see how the discussion of General John Allen 2014/2015 falls into the political charade of a presidential race in 2016?
It’s a Potemkin Village.
Does General John Allen speaking at the DNC convention to support Hillary Clinton begin to make more sense now?
Does the sordid corruption and politicization of the military begin to make more sense to the casual political follower?
And most importantly…

…Does THIS PRIOR OUTLINE make more sense now?
