With that above statement Obonga just insulted General Petraeus, our troops, and the evolving concepts of counterinsurgency. He has no grasp of military matters. That is fairly typical of those on the Left, from my experience of being a Leftist many years ago in college after I had done my Army time. The very few military veterans on the Left I met were, in my judgment, liars about their experience and some I really doubt had served at all. None of them really had any grasp of history, strategy, and tactics. Obonga is a man who fancies himself POTUS and giving orders to the military, thinking himself having greater wisdom than commanders in the field.

How can anyone take this man seriously? I think that’s more than just a rhetorical question. Take it from a former neo-Marxist: I know a neo-Marxist when I see one and he is one of them. Too bad this cannot be said more publicly and given its due, because if you do the research into his background that is an ironclad conclusion to make about him.
