He has been in command of the US military for the past 4 years. At any time, he could have made short work of the enemy. He still could. And thereby prevent all the suffering and bloodshed that will come. But he didn't. And won't do it. So either he doesn't want to. Or he doesn't have the balls for it. Either way, that deserves no respect. The only thing he has earned is the mocking gratitude of our enemies.
