Obama Drops A-Bomb on Pentagon Generals
On October 12, 2013, ABC’s Dianne Sawyer brought us a video of a 9th, yes 9th, General fired from the military that week. Martha Raddatz, ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent, reported the story. It’s now even reaching some of the more liberal news media stations and begging the question, “What is going on here?”

As ABC News reports, this was an extremely alarming rate and one of the biggest, fastest purges of military personnel ever recorded. It apparently was such a shock at that rate, even a long time veteran news reporter like Dianne Sawyer at one point got so heated said about two Commanders of the Nuclear Command, "You don’t put people who are not very intelligent and without a squeaky clean record over that area of the Military.' It was enough to make the hardest and staunchest of Obama supporters, as these ABC news anchors, to even pause and ask themselves, “What step is Obama planning next?”
Some people say it seems like President Obama is preparing for what he calls “my military” for his version of the final solution as he is purging the military ranks.
"Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely is a former commanding general of the Pacific Command and a Fox News senior military analyst. He identifies one of the chief architects of this implosion by design as Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Read Vallely's ideas below and make up your own mind.
"Jarrett, nicknamed “the Night Stalker” due to her frequent overnight stays at the White House, is roughly the equivalent of what Karl Rove was to George Bush. She is, in whatever malevolent form it may assume, Obama’s brain. She is reputed to be responsible for the rampant “political correctness” that has taken over the military and infected all levels of the services.
"To this point, at least twelve generals and flag officers have been relieved of duty through a personnel maneuver, accusation or forced “voluntary” resignation. Many of these upper echelon officers are dependent upon their military connections for after-service careers and not inclined to forthcoming with complaints or information. Vallely considers this to be the handiwork of Valerie Jarrett.
"Jarrett as, “a Chicago lawyer with far-left roots. She is one of Obama’s closest advisers, and has been throughout his career, well before his presidential campaign and Oval Office occupancy. Valerie Jarrett has shadowed his career, largely staying out of the limelight, but is today widely recognized as perhaps the single most influential person, aside from wife Michelle, on Barack Obama.”
"Maj. Gen. Vallely denounces Jarrett as the driving force which is causing senior officers to be proactively defensive and to second guess all of the actions of their subordinates. Jarrett's official title is that of a Senior Adviser with responsibilities for the offices of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. That could mean almost anything, but what it is in actuality is a very powerful shadow figure.
"Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah is quoted as saying that Jarrett influences nearly every policy issue at the White House. “She seems to have her tentacles into every issue and every topic,” says Chaffetzs. “Her name ultimately always comes up.”
"The Washington Post calls Jarrett the president’s “mysterious” adviser.
"Author Ed Klein, a former editor-in-chief of the New York Times magazine, commented in a Washington Times report that Jarrett was the “architect” of the Obama strategy to blame Republicans in Congress for a White House engineered government shutdown.
"According to Klein, “She convinced the president that a government shutdown and default offered a great opportunity to demonize the Republicans and help the Democrats win back a majority in the House of Representatives in 2014.”
"It is the opinion of Vallely that Obama is “intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.”
"Maj. Gen. Vallely compares what is presently happening in the form of intrusive surveillance by ranking American military personnel into personal matters of mid-level officers and enlisted personnel with what was done by the “political commissars from the Communist era.”
"Giving an example, Vallely said, “Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley couldn’t even talk about radical Islam and other issues that the Obama administration is putting out.” Lt. Col. Dooley was relieved of duty as a military instructor for his approved course titled “Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism.” He was publicly condemned by Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for the way in which Islam was portrayed.
"Jarrett and other Obama insiders seem to be behind the administration’s undeniable preference for and promotion of all things Islamic. Materials and personnel uncomplimentary to Islam, homosexuals and the Obama dictates have no place in today’s military.
"Our civilian leadership is intent on neutering our military effectiveness and ability to fight by making it as much of a tool for public relations tool as an instrument for being victorious in conflict. [Does this follow Obama's 'War of Words' tactics to use the United Nations to settle conflicts and talk our enemies to death with his flowery speeches?]
"Our fighting men and women aren’t pleased with the direction of our forces but they are powerless to do anything about it. In the new Obama-Jarrett version of the American military, it’s Sensitivity First, that’s victory enough."
