Mr. President, with all due respect, where is the tranquility that your press secretary is alluding to? Can you mention one single Arab state that succeeded with your method of throwing out the leader? The Arab leaders may not have been elected by the people, as you would have wished for, but they dearly wanted to succeed. Now, with your intervention in each Arab country no one has.

You became President of the United States, because the American people didn’t know who you really were and they believed all what you told them. You know why? Because the American people are lovely and generous, and they took the risk, because they are good people and many just wanted to give you a chance - not like the Europeans who are more meticulous than our people. Instead of taking the chance that Americans gave you, you maybe thought that the Americans are stupid. Mr. President, the Americans didn’t want to disappoint their African American minority, as they wanted to give a chance to this minority too and to the left wing, which maybe could do better than Bush or Clinton. Only after a few years, they finally realized that you are not a leader and you couldn‘t lead a nation like the Americans, who gave you the chance. Instead, you want to deprive the people of the way of life they are used to by ignoring our Constitution.

Now, since the arrival of those terrorists like Al Qaida and ISIS in Syria and in Iraq that goes back for at least two years, quietly, without our interference, by letting them enjoy their illegal conquest, due to the fact that you didn’t succeed to leave at least ten or twenty thousand of our soldiers there, like we imposed in Europe and in other countries where we lost a lot of our soldiers, the terrorists abused our silence and established themselves in Syria and in Iraq for a start. You knew all along what was going on in those countries. Meanwhile you became friendly with Qatar and the terrorists organizations it sponsors, such as ISIS and Hamas, and you let the Israelis fight Hamas without even a word of support for our longstanding ally. You disregarded the fact that the American Jews helped you succeed in your election with at least 70% of the Jewish people who voted for you. By doing so, you have alienated the Jews of the world. Now you have alienated the Turks, the British and the Germans who were supposed to join you to fight ISIS in Syria and in Iraq.  Now what? Mr. President you are not made to save either the United States or any other nations. Let the generals decide and let them save us and the world from this threat. As a former officer who graduated from military school, I have never heard about the possibility of winning a battle without boots on the ground.
