Washington Free Beacon: ABANDON SHIP: Obama’s Top Advisers on ISIS, Russia, and Cyber-Security Have All Resigned Over the Past Two Weeks
Last week, President Obama’s education secretary Arne Duncan announced that he was leaving at the end of the year. Far less attention has been paid to the string of other high-profile resignations that have rocked the administration since September 22, when Bloomberg reported that John Allen, the retired general Obama hand-picked to lead the U.S. war effort against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, was stepping down.
One week later, on September 29, POLITICO reported that Evelyn Farkas, the top Pentagon official responsible for overseeing U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine, was leaving her post after five years. According to the site, the administration is expected to “have a hard time finding a replacement,” as Farkas’s resignation comes at a time of considerable division within the Obama administration over how to respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria.
WNU Editor: All three positions are in a crisis situation right now .... and when people are leaving in the middle of a crisis it is usually a reflection that they are in total disagreement with the policies and the man who is advocating them.

"it is usually a reflection that they are in total disagreement with the policies and the man who is advocating" that, or they got fired for developing the misguided strategies that Obama accepted in spite of common sense. Remember his retaining the Tim Geithner for soooo long for finance, a very sad man who didn't pay his taxes? Obama either isn't able to attract a capable team or maybe, the proper skill set no longer exists in America.
WNU Editor,
Might want to read this for the political insight.

Doing anything "effective" on ISIS, Cyber and Russia, goes counter to the "group think" world view that dominates in the U.S. Government and MSM.
Basically, everyone in the U.S. In a position of power or influence, believes the "world is flat", but all the solutions to the US's and Worlds problems, require admitting that the world is a sphere.
Thank you for the link Jay.
WNU,
Talk about a composed photo. Can you spot the oddity in the photo?
No paper on President Obama's desk. Just an iPad. No curtains. Everyone is white. ???? You got me there James.
James
Oddity or idiot?
I know auto correct can be incompetent.
Jay,
That was an excellent article.
Thank you
WNU,
Pretty good, this is probably trivial, but also an equal number of women to men, also all the women are on Obama's right and the men on the left. The reason there are no curtains is they kept finding Putin standing behind them.
Heh, pretty good Phil.
I thought everyone except Barry looked like they had to go to the bathroom really bad.
