Why did Ret. Gen. Allen speak at the DNC Convention?

When you read this, sip slowly, dust off the way-back machine, and think about those who have surfaced visibly to support Hillary Clinton. Including “retired” U.S. General John Allen (retired in 2012), who was previously brought out of retirement to lead President Obama’s fight against ISIS in 2014.

In order to understand the scope of the relationships it takes understanding the full back story. Stay with it….

The question posed to the Tree House back in 2014 was: Why is the White House selecting a retired General John Allen, instead of a current commanding officer to lead Obama’s anti-ISIS efforts?

Deep breath: This White House uses personal leverage to their advantage like no other before it. Example #1: Where’s Bowe Bergdahl? Example #2: What ever happened to Ahmed Abu Khattala the captured head of the Benghazi attack ?

See… you had to think about it. This White House swamps us so much we forget to follow-up…..

There was a risk to the political optics of fighting ISIS. A terrorist enemy the White House refused to acknowledge, and previously called the “JV Team”. Consequently, the administration needed a competent “General” President Obama and Denis McDonough could control, rely upon, and quite possibly bypass the Pentagon.

So who did the White House leverage in 2014?

Yeah, General John Allen.
