Pentagon may Miss Deadline To Present To Congress Their Plan To Defeat The Islamic State

Washington Examiner: Pentagon may miss deadline for plan to defeat Islamic State

The Pentagon is not committing to meeting a congressionally mandated deadline to present lawmakers with the Obama administration's plan to "defeat" the self-proclaimed Islamic State, just days before that plan is due to be delivered to Congress.

President Obama in November signed the annual defense policy law that included a 90-day window for the administration to provide Congress with its plan to beat the radical Sunni terrorist group militarily.

"We are aware of the report and are actively working with multiple interagency offices to complete this legal requirement, per the NDAA, and look forward to submitting the completed report to Congress in the near term," a Pentagon spokesman told the Washington Examiner on Thursday.

WNU Editor: If the Pentagon misses this deadline .... which by the looks of it they will .... it will tell me that besides waging a war of attrition, they do not have a strategic plan to defeat the Islamic State.

It tells me, as I've said, that the US created the Islamic State and wants it to survive to divide the Middle East according to the Yinon Plan, which consists of weakening and eventually fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of an Israeli expansionist project. According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.”

How can you carry out a winning strategy in the public media square, when you have antagonists to your policy, in every corner. The list of them is large, including allies My thought, they have no choice but to play their hand closely. I suspect that the policy, strategy has been laid out in a classified forum to Congressional leaders. And has already been given the green light. The problem is, those antagonists, allies etc, will scuttle any possibility of success. We got off the mark way to slow!
