Retired Major General Paul Vallely has a few comments on the “president’s” request for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force by Congress under which he will supposedly “really fight ISIS this time.” He has a lot to say about what needs to be done and the reality of our situation and it differs considerably from the picture painted by the White House and the associated rhetoric.
Vallely says, “First of all you know, it’s a draft resolution. Number two, you never put a time limit when you’re at war. So when you announce you’re at war against an enemy then you have to have the strategy and you never announce your strategy of current, future operations.”
Vallely says we need to get rid of the “boots on the ground” terminology, that it is not an accurate reflection of the role or of the size of a ground presence. What are needed are air-ground operations, eyes on the ground locating and fixing the targets for air strikes. He says, “You don’t need a lot of what we call conventional forces, armored brigades, infantry brigades. Use your Special Ops Forces just like we did early on in Afghanistan.”He adds, “I’d bring the b-52’s in just like we did in Afghanistan and I’ll tell you what that’ll put the fear of Allah in em.”
