[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm lying?. I may interpret Obama's foreign policy with regard to the war on terror  differently than you, but I'm hardly lying.

n short, Mattis said at one point, a lot of U.S. allies are unhappy with Obama’s aimless foreign policy stances.

“We’ve disappointed a lot of friends out there, from Tel Aviv to Riyadh to Abu Dhabi to Cairo,” he said.

Mattis headed the U.S. Central Command from 2010 to 2013 and led the First Marine Division into Iraq in 2003.

Here is what you have claimed the general said (by the way, the "general" is retired so it is not surprising he has not been briefed on current plans):

"he is aware of no overarching plan to deal with extremism in North Africa"

"says he knows of no plan on this one" -- this was in the context of a discussion of a policy to defeat ISIS.

So, unless you can clarify the source of the quotes that you provided, I'm going to assume that you were not truthful in your earlier posts. The article does say the general is not aware of our policy in Syria, but that just demonstrates that he is uninformed rather than support either of the two quotes you posted.
