We lost Afghanistan the day O was elected president.

Ditto Iraq which is turning into a lawless cauldron of violence.

O’s plans for America are no different. Destroy destroy destroy.

I suspect the General has been trying for a meeting with Obammy for some time now and this was the only way to finally get one.

You can’t win any war with a Red Diaper Doper Baby as Commander-in-Chief.

Still, most congressmen stopped short of calling for McChrystal’s dismissal, saying instead that the tone and sincerity of his apology after Wednesday’s meeting with Obama would determine his future role.

Why should McChrystal apologize for a hit piece against himself written by an Obama supporter?

Obama is guilty of everything that McChrystal is accused of.
Obama also disses HIS boss (the American people). The very GALL of him to “call in” a general, for Pete’s sake! But the general will cave, whimper, and apologize to this thug. I wish that JUST ONCE, someone would not back down from this pretender-in-chief.

“McChrystal forces Obama into a no-win situation”

Which is precisely the kind of spot that Hussein forced McChrystal and all the military into in Afghanistan.

Even before McChrystal’s very public slap at his boss surfaced on Monday night, the White House was already bristling at the perception that the war in Afghanistan was becoming unwinnable.

I remember when Obama, Hillary Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, and the entire mainstream media were telling us that Iraq was unwinnable, and that we needed to focus on Afghanistan because that war was essential. Bush (not my favorite president but at least a real American and a patriot) led in Iraq, and we won. Today we're stuck with Obama, who wants to lose.

“Fight or don’t fight!”

Exactly! Either loosen the absurd ROE’s and fully engage the jihadists or just come home and have a cold one on the porch.

Right now our guys are just TARGETS.

Gotta love what the street talk is:

1) It took Obama 2 months to meet with the heads of BP, but 1 days to call in the general because his whiney bitch feelings were hurt.

2) Obama can't make the time to read the AZ SB1070 immigration law which is 10 pages, but has unlimited hours to read "Rolling Stone Magazine". Does he keep it next to his copy of "Great American Glory Holes" I wonder?

What’s Stars and Stripes doing publishing editorial comment like “McChrystal forces Obama into a no-win situation”?

You know that STARS AND STRIPES is not run by the military? It's privately owned & run.

Stars and Stripes has always been a source for propoganda.

***"Apparently the reporter was given access to McChrystal for 30 days. IIRC that is unprecedented.***

>>>>> "According to a post at BLACKFIVE, the reporter was originally only supposed to be there for 2 days but the Icelandic volcano eruption extended his visit for a few more weeks." <<<<<

Brian Katulis, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, said the article could easily be used as Taliban propaganda, revealing infighting among U.S. leaders and a lack of real concern for the Afghan people.

Typical lib BS. What about all the libs who claim the war on terror is lost.
