Pentagon delivers draft plan to defeat Islamic State to White House

Source: Reuters



27 FEB 2017 AT 13:27 ET

A Pentagon-led preliminary plan to defeat Islamic State has been delivered to the White House and U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will brief senior administration officials later on Monday, a Defense Department spokesman told reporters.

Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters that it was the framework for a broader plan and looked at Islamic State around the world, not just Iraq and Syria.

Davis said the plan would define what defeating Islamic State meant and was one that would rapidly defeat the militant group.

He added that Mattis would discuss the plan, which is primarily a written one with accompanying graphics, with members of the cabinet-level Principals Committee on Monday afternoon.

Because agent orange needs a "new" one to show how tough and "capable" he is. He has the best generals, remember?

A 30 day plan to defeat a problem we help create. Unless it is a holocaust moment, it ain't gonna happen. We won't allow something so sick from Donnie Rhea's little cheat brain. We have yet to demand the Saudi royal family stop funding the Madrasas and not holding them accountable. Until then nothing we happen.

We don't need no stinking plan! Trump said he had it all figured out and would defeat ISIS in 30 days. I m guessing that statement was tied to this one "why do we have nukes if we never use them?"

And are the graphics used handdrawn pics of Trump piloting a tank, helicopter or jet at the bad guys?

8. Step 1 - recategorize the Islamic State to an offshoot of Al Queda and rename it Daesh.

Step 2 - No more "Islamic State". Who cares what they call themselves, anyway, they're terrorists.
