Sunday on Fox News Channelâs âFox News Sunday,â veteran journalist Bob Woodward said people in the military are complaining to him that the Obama administration has no strategy to defeat ISIS other then having people like Susan Rice âmicromanageâ military responses.
Woodward said, âIf you talk to people in the White House and the military, I think thereâs agreement and John McCain is right and General Flynn is right, there is no strategy. They have not sat down and said this is where we want to go and this is how we want to do it. And the measure of that, when you head into the weeds here, people from the White House are micromanaging the tactical situation on a daily and weekly basis. Thatâs not their job. They have to kind of do strategic planning and say what do we want to accomplish in the next year.â
When host Chris Wallace asked, âWait a minute, are you saying that â forgive me, Susan Rice, is telling the generals what to do?â Woodard confirmed it by saying, âAnd they have got all these people in the White House. You talk to people in the military who are there and they say âwe are being micromanaged and weâre not given a real plan to say what are we going to do here.â And itâs not the way to run a war or try to win a war.â
