Ignoring General Flynn

Ignoring General Flynn
Addressing Donald Trump and Vice President J. D. Vance, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.) wrote this concerning the hostage deal: “[T]he U.S. should never negotiate with terrorists or nation state sponsors of terrorism. This is what you get. More war and more bloodshed. Israel will survive, but the people along with the state of Israel will suffer severe consequences” (X, January 14). He is exactly right!
General Flynn was one of Barack Obama’s top enemies because he was a vocal opponent of Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal with Iran. Obama kicked Flynn out of his administration and implemented the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran on Jan. 16, 2016. Now, nine years later, we see another disastrous deal and once again around January 16. (Learn about the significance of this date in my free booklet January 16: God’s Miracle Day.)
Trump appointed Flynn in his first administration as national security advisor despite Obama’s resistance. But then Obama stirred up false allegations, and Trump caved and let Flynn go. (This is all explained in my free book America Under Attack.) The Obama administration is now exposed and Flynn has been pardoned, but President Trump has decided to not use him in his cabinet or administration.
What President Trump really needs is somebody to help him understand what is happening in the Middle East. And he must see in time what a catastrophe he has caused with this hostage deal.
General Flynn is a great patriot and one of the greatest generals—maybe the greatest general—America has. Doesn’t America need such a man today? Surely he should at least be an adviser, a strong one. Without him, President Trump does not really have a strong military leader to advise him!
Benjamin Netanyahu, like General Flynn, is a real warrior, and surely one of the outstanding leaders in the world. He knows a great deal about fighting wars: He has been doing so most of his life!
But President Trump has rejected the perspective of both these men. If such men are not used, Trump will be walking a dark path.
Refusing the counsel of a strong general shows a
broken will. This is a curse from God! (Leviticus 26:18-20).
Where does this leave America in the Middle East? What kind of power do we have there? The facts on the ground are not encouraging.
