Obama probably informed McChrystal of the new order—he follows Biden’s lead now.

Reckon that general feller’s gotta git his mind right.

What we have here is a failure to communicate...

[FlyingEagle]

Having ruined the olympic bid, the One is probably in a mood to just show ‘em and do something (stupid).

Like surrender in Afghanistan. He thinks its Bush’s war anyway.

[The Comedian]

What Joe Biden doesn't know about sociology, warfare, and economics could cover the surface of Jupiter in a 20 foot-thick layer of stupid.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I could see a resignation from the services in an appropriate time frame.

Then, a possible VP candidacy with SP

McChrystal is 55? He should just retire and go out with his head held high, rather than be “the one who lost the war in Afghanistan.”

Hey, 0bama is in the driver's seat now, so those generals better settle down for the ride:

[HighlyOpinionated]

Wanna take odds that as of Monday McCrystal is out of a job?

0bama has very thin [whitish] skin and doesn’t take too well to having someone upstage him.

Heck, McCrystal is going to have to get in line behind the first 25 Enemies of The 0bama Administration.

0bama will see McCrystal as not a “team player.” Only problem is that it’s 0bama who’s playing on the wrong team.

0bama-Care = Waterloo
0bama-Afghanistan = Viet Nam
0bama-Iran = Armageddon

I love it when a plan comes together.

Add 0bama-Honduras = ???
And 0bama-Olympics = PRICELESS [Somewhere I heard the total cost for that trip was around $30 Million, is that correct?]

I used to do computer field service at Boston MEPS during the Clinton years and would constantly meet officers who were in the middle of resigning.
It was an epidemic. I would talk to them and ask why and it would always boil down to Clinton.
I remember 1 guy telling me that he's quitting because he was now a 24/7 Hovercraft taxi driver. Back and forth all day.
He didn't sign up for that crap.

Perhaps this is a good place to quote the President himself in his book ‘The Audacity of Hope’..

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

‘nuff said.

...focusing on tracking down al Qaeda, sparing ground troops by hunting al Qaeda extremists and their leaders with missiles from unmanned drones

Uh huh...and the intelligence on where to find al Qaeda will come from where? From tribesmen who are unprotected and will be only too happy to communicate this information in some as-yet undisclosed way to far-off American troops who have abandoned them? Maybe from inside Joe Biden's head?

Followup- McChrystal was of course correct:

Taliban capture key Afghan provincial capital Kunduz
The Guardian ^ | 28 September 2015 | Sune Engel Rasmussen

Posted on by Leaning Right

The Taliban have captured Kunduz in northern Afghanistan, taking government buildings and the city’s central prison in one of the biggest military victories for the movement since 2001. It is the most serious invasion of a provincial capital in 14 years.
