Remember: Obama Fired Mattis

[i am herdman]

Guess you all and the press forgot about this:

President Barack Obama fired General James Mattis, the head of Central Command, without even calling the general to let him know he was being replaced.
General Mattis was traveling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House,”

When Obama fired Mattis without even telling him, the media, the Democrats and the Washington establishment thought it was great.

When Mattis announces he will retire in two and a half months and there will be an orderly transition everyone in the media screams about how they are "panicked."

Mattis was basically removed(AKA fired) from the head of the Central Command for disagreeing with Obama over the Iran nuclear deal.

I don't remember anyone being fired up on the left ??????

 

[extragreen]

The differences are that obama fired mattis (mattis didn't resign), and, no one considered mattis the last capable person in the administration at the time like they do now.

It is possible to both support that decision of Obama's and agree with Mattis that Trump is a fvckhead. In neither case can one argue against Mattis' love of and service to the nation.

Obama relieved Mattis because he was against the deal Obama was cutting with Iran.

Obama relieved Mattis because he was against the deal Obama was cutting with Iran.

Which was fine. There were only two options, and frankly diplomacy with every major world power except for Israel was the right choice. War should always be the last result. That does not mean Mattis was wrong per se, just that he had a different philosophy....and at that point he could not longer represent the administration. It never meant he sucked or anything.

And there is the fallacy in your post...."Obama was cutting the deal with Iran". No, the major world powers sat down and worked out a deal....one of those powers being one that uses Iran as a proxy....that was kind of a big deal, unless you are all 'Murica is the only power and shit. The beauty of that is if Iran fvcked around and ignored the deal Russia was handcuffed to the deal and we could then bomb some shit. We had the position of strength....which your boy Trump shat away. Way to go!

When we can get Russia to tell a patron state of theirs to back the fvck up and sign the papers with us, that's a win. I know you have been wanting war with Iran since the early 2000's....and that is what clouds your thoughts...that, and the fact Obama got it done.

All is did was put us in a position of weakness because everyone knew that we can't just simply bomb Iran for breaking the deal like everyone knew they would.

Why can't we? Shit, we bombed Iraq for 9/11 and they had nothing to do with it. What a stupid thought.

So trump doesn't want as many troops in Afghanistan and Syria and Mattis does. They part ways.

Trump is bad

Obama is ok for doing the same thing

Double standard

Not sure why the surprise. Every single time someone is separated from trump, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the hypocrites turn said person into a martyr. A once hated enemy, now a hero of the left.

 

[extragreen]

You mean these martyrs?...

Papadopoulos
Manafort
Gates
Flynn
Cohen

For a minute, I thought you were going to say that "Every single time someone is separated from cheeto, . . . cheeto then blasts the person as incompetent, lazy, stupid, etc. even though he previously touted how that person was 'brilliant,' 'the best,' and 'a great person.'"

Well, that too. However, you know that's instant reasoning for you liberal hypocrites to fall in love with the person you hated just a day ago. It's quite comedic watching you trannies get all giddy over them.

Trump is bad because we are fvcking the Kurds to curry favor with Turkey. Trump is bad because he shits on our strong allies...did you not read Mattis' resignation letter?

 

[countryroads89]

Obama is ok for doing the same thing

Those two situations aren’t even close to being the same.

Yeh, I read it

 

[dherd]

OBAMA DID NOT FIRE MATTIS, HE MOVED MATTIS BECAUSE MATTIS WANTED TO INVADE IRAN.

MATTIS FIRED TRUMP BECAUSE TRUMP IS WORKING FOR RUSSIA.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

BOTTOM LINE IS ITS JUST ANOTHER TRUMP LIE THAT YOU RUSSIAN TROLLS THROW OUT.
