gives away your leanings. His point is a very elementary one that our POTUS has still not grasped. You don't show your play book to the other team. Maybe if he was a competitor at something other than bracket challenges, he would know this.

I think people who have no knowledge about military warfare make the decisons and that is why Obama and his strong military background knows what to do.........what....what..... he did NOT serve? Coach K served this country with honor during Vietnam and I think he has more room to give opinions than some Hollywood actor por actress who have no idea.

"After that, the boy who never wanted to be a soldier was granted his wish, more or less. While many of his classmates were serving in Vietnam, he spent three years coaching military basketball teams, then two years as the coach at a military prep school in Virginia. Capt. Michael William Krzyzewski then resigned his military commission, worked for one year as a graduate assistant to Knight (who had taken over at Indiana) and then — without ever having served as a full-fledged assistant coach in college — accepted a job as head coach back at West Point."
Yes he went to West Point.
Yes he coached soldiers.

That he held a job period is more than the inept cockroach can claim. Community agitator in the worst place in the country isn't something to brag about

Barry ain't "my" guy. But was your guy G.W.?
Apr 11, 2015, 1:18 PM

Because Barry is doing a better job running the country than George. Even though Barry's skin tone is offensive to some, he is being more productive than his predecessor. Maybe slowly.. but surely he's digging us out of the mess George left us in, And yeh, it takes money to fix the mess. I mean since you're speaking of facts and all. Or maybe you're just jaded by his party affiliation and skin tone?

Took how long for someone to bring up race for zero reason at all?

And his race is MOST DEFINITELY an issue with a lot of people. You would have to be some sort of an idiot to not see that.
And what's up with calling someone a "lib" just because they state a couple facts about the guy you apparently don't like for unknown reasons?
You reckon you made one or three really bad assumptions there?

The idiot is half white also. Many fools voted for him simply because of his black half thinking he would help race relations further. My bad, the jokes on them he took race relations back to worse than the 50's.

It's military/sports strategy. You don't tell your enemy/slash opponent what you're going to do. Terror groups don't say what they plan to do. Why? Because it keeps us guessing and in fear.
Why is it offensive to state a fact?
Geez people. CTFD.

Stadiums and arenas are secondary if you have kind of support. I love Cameron. It's size is perfect. It's loud, obnoxious, and intimidating. If they ever build another somewhere it would be the end of Duke bball.

You think Dabo ought to tell every team we play what plays we will use?
(Coach K has far more military experience than the current POTUS.)

It's cloat and dagger. The dagger is ineffective without the cloak. I'm sure the pentagon advised the President against boots on the ground.
Stating the policy publically is pure PR and limits the effectiveness of the current strategy.

South Korea during peace time. You could have made that claim 6 years ago. Obama has spent more than 6 years as CIC with various wars going on.
I like Coach K but most Americans aren't going to stand for more boots on the ground when we've had thousands come home in body bags and tens of thousands come home wounded and with other psychiatric injuries in two wars that did absolutely no good in the region.

It isn't about whether you put troops on the ground or not. Its the perception of whether you could or not. BO has taken the potential away.

sez he's not going to use ground troops doesn't mean he's not. It's simple minded to believe otherwise. I don't want him to do it but by saying he's not, the threat doesn't go away unless you think politicians tell the truth all the time especially about foreign policy.

It's part of his job. Doesn't mean he understands or is good at it. The President has consistently demonstrated a lack of understanding many things even tough he is envolved every day. The resurgent economy is more a by product of monetary policy and the fossil fuel boom than fiscal policy.
When the President announces a military strategy, why does he do it? PR.
I actually agree with most of your points, nor am I advocating escalation vs ISIS. (Although your rationale for what makes someone a terrorist is unfounded non emperical opinion. The US has a long history of meddlesome actions and not every country or region produces terrorism.)
My points were 1) It's poor strategy for the President to tip his hand, and 2) Coach K via his military training and experience is qualified to discuss military strategy.
CTFD.
