Senior
UK Defense Advisor: Obama Is Clueless About ‘What He Wants To Do In The World’
Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the
president’s strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled America’s
position in the world.
President
Obama is “chronically incapable” of military strategy and falls far short of his
predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britain’s most senior military
advisors.
Sir
Hew Strachan, an advisor to the Chief of the Defense Staff, told The Daily
Beast that the United States and Britain were guilty of total strategic failure
in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama’s attempts to intervene on behalf of the
Syrian rebels “has left them in a far worse position than they were before.”
The
extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States’ closest
military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the
former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the
President’s foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of
the military.
Strachan,
a current member of the Chief of the Defense Staff’s Strategic Advisory Panel,
cited the “crazy” handling of the Syrian crisis as the most egregious example
of a fundamental collapse in military planning that began in the aftermath of
9/11. “If anything it’s gone backwards instead of forwards, Obama seems to be
almost chronically incapable of doing this. Bush may have had totally fanciful
political objectives in terms of trying to fight a global War on Terror, which
was inherently astrategic, but at least he had a clear sense of what he wanted
to do in the world. Obama has no sense of what he wants to do in the world,” he
said. . .
