Did the Media Care When Obama Fired General Mattis?

Democrats who won't defend our southern border and who slept as Obama drew red lines with vanishing ink worry about an ISIS Obama created by a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq regaining strength and reforming in Syria and Iraq.

There was no such concern when Obama relieved Mattis as commander of CENTCOM without so much as a phone call, a factoid typical of Obama's disdain for the military, its missions, and its heroes.

There is also a belief that Mattis and Obama differed on Iran.

Obama and Mattis disagreed on goals and consequences.

Retired four-star general and Fox News analyst Jack Keane, architect of the Iraq surge that produced the victory Obama threw away, recently spoke on Kilmeade and Friends about Obama's ongoing purge of the military of officers who oppose his isolationist and defeatist policies.

The brusque Mattis apparently fell afoul of National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, an Obama apparatchik.

Why? Because Mattis says things the Obama team doesn't want to hear, especially about what might well become the next theater of operations - Iran.
