An excellent interview that may make you feel better about the new Chief, the Middle East and the military. Well worth your time if you care about such things.
General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Charlie Rose, Friday, March 16, 2012
35 minutes
I was relieved to see this interview because General Dempsey has a kind of wimpy stature and an annoying whistle in his speech but given the opportunity, he is reassuring in deed. Personally, I cannot stop being amazed by the caliber of our generals. Would that our politicians, including our recent Presidents, seemed as intelligent, competent and well spoken as they.
Is it just me or has President Obama completely failed to explain to us his key policy decisions on every subject? Why isn’t the nation’s President explaining himself as plainly and simply as General Dempsey explained Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria? I’m not suggesting that we all agree with the policies the General explains, I’m just saying we can understand and see the reason behind the policy.
I hope President Romney does better.
