| #3 Following the FBI's discovery of tens of thousands of e-mail contacts from General Allen to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, the General was identified as a very capable communicator. In a PR-centric Obama regime, effective communication and distraction are key enablers. The successful establishment of the term "Daesh" may in fact be his only purpose, and how could he say no ? |

| #2 It is interesting that the Gen Allen is making an effort to consistently use the name 'Daesh' for what the interviewer consistently calls 'IS.' Is this supposed to be a clumsy attempt at propaganda to whitewash Islam and absolve it of any blame? As for the solutions: If you decide beforehand that you're not even willing to hurt the noble enemy people's feelings than there's no solution and no possible outcome except defeat. |

| #1 SPIEGEL: General Allen, congratulations on your new assignment. It seems that you will have a secure job for the next decade. Allen: Yes, probably. It would seem that my employability and my employment are guaranteed for some period of time. December 2016 should just about wrap it up General. Use your accrued leave or sell it back before then please. |
