Ralph Peters – Obama Needs To Stop Telling Enemy What We Won’t Do And Just Do What We Need To Do

Posted on 12 February, 2015 by Rick Wells    

A clip of Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) starts off the segment with his statement, “It’s always better, though, if the Congress and the ‘president’ speak with one voice when it comes to national security. Unfortunately, the problem right now is not speaking with one voice it’s that the ‘president’ has largely been mute.”

Ralph Peters comments on a letter sent by the White House to Congress regarding the Authorization of the Use of Military Force request to fight ISIS. The single line that Bill Hemmer reads to Col Peters says, “If left unchecked ISIL will pose a threat beyond the Middle East including the United States homeland.” Hemmer says, “That’s a long way from JV thirteen months ago.”

Colonel Peters believes that the authorization will in some form pass and agrees that it should pass.  He says while it is important that the Congress be onboard, the language of the letter troubles him. He characterizes it as “the letter of a nervous lawyer, not of a bold commander-in-chief.  There are so many qualifications in there and limitations it’s ridiculous. And again, the ‘president’ is always focused on his domestic base, domestic politics and not on strategy.”
