Seriously, I still need to learn more about him, but the beginning of his counter-insurgency (with the insurgency being defined as the obama administration) seems to be going according to plan.
Oops, should’ve used VANITY posting.
Didja know that McChrystal has always said he voted for Obama? Probably not a good candidate for higher office.
He voted for Obama.
I don’t need to know any more.
McChrystal, the main proponent of COunterINsurgency ops? The guy who voted for 0bama? No, thanks.
Agreed. Anyone who openly acknowledges his poor judgment in voting for Zero needs to be either voted out of office or kept out of office.
Part of the plan, Stan. Best way to get cover from unfriendly fire (aka Rolling Stone, NY Slimes, Etc). Otherwise this would NOT have made the splash it did.
Shouldn't you have thought of that before annointing him VP?
I see that I am not the first person to note he claims to be an Obama voter.
That makes him either a liar or a fool.
Stand by on that! I’ve read that he voted for BO.
That means either he’s a useful idiot just thrown under the bus or so egregiously politically stupid that we don’t want him anyway.
If really had the power to annoint, I would use it to get the big O outta there. My purpose is to put up the notion that McChrystal might be COINing Obama, and public office is one possible outcome. With what I know about him already I can say that he is more qualified than Biden.
Him saying he voted for BO could also be a careful calculation, meant to shape public opinion and media response.
Anyone who voted for Oblunder clearly shows a clear lack of judgement. Nuff said!
He voted for a non-NBC. Not very bright. The Pentagon must be filled with cowards and idiots if they vote for and support non-NBC S*udi agents.
Well if you consider pissing off Obama to be the sole qualification necessary for VP candidacy in 2012, and continue to tout every public figure who does that for the office, then I predict you're going to be a very busy boy over the next two years.
Better to go with Patreus if you want to put a general there. Personally I’d rather have LTC. Allen West. If McCrystal actually voted for Obama, he must have had something against McCain.
But gets a good mark in his copy book for honesty.
On another thread, Taildragger suggested that McChrystal may be getting set up to be Hillary’s VP. I think that has a lot more validity than the suggestion that Palin would be interested.
Just think, he refused to vote for the ex-Navy pilot to be his commander-in-chief in favor of the community organizer who never served a day.
Jus sayin.
Whose next: Wesley Clark? Colon Powell? They were generals. Joe Sestak was an admiral.
Please do some research before writing a post that is an embarrassment.

Doesn’t anyone want to know what the hell the General’s political beliefs and core convictions are before promoting hime for one of the highest offices in the damned land?!?
I’ve little use for an honest idiot.
Zero doesn't seem to be enjoying himself. He still looks like he's losing weight. He might pull a "LBJ" and not run, citing "health" reasons.

A stupid idea. This general voted for obama.
She quit when things go too hot and he let our troops function under suicidal rules of engagement and voted for the man-child who is leading the effort to destroy our country.
Oh please. Every damn time someone speaks up to the Kenyan they are #2 on a ticket.
The guy is an Obozo voter for petes sake.
They are planting the seeds of doubt....
All the Democratic minions, Matthews, Carville, Zuchermann, Dowd, have been nipping @ Obama now for weeks, the bloom is off the rose and they are looking for plan B for 2012, and it is Hillary.
She needs military gravitas to round out her resume, she now has Senate, and Sec-State under her belt. She needs something to get National Defense Dems and RINOs to vote for her.
Sorry, McChrystal isn’t POTUS or VPOTUS material.
He was picked by Comrade 0 and that means he soiled property.
Are they VP material in your estimation?
Read the link on 26, not for Sarah but for Hilda...
LOL
Ike was a General too, but if the personality portrayed by Rolling Stone is even 50% accurate, I wouldn’t want McChrystal any where near leading my son in to combat or being one heartbeat from the Presidency.
Sarah yes, the general ... are you out of your mind?
A copy paste from the other thread....
It's all manipulation. The next race is expected to be between Hillary and Sarah Palin, and Hillary is being positioned as the popular one with all the experience.
Yes it is Clear....
2 things just hit me reading your post.
All the Conservative talkers are talking about should he or shouldn't he have said it and or resigned.
I am going to go out on a limb here.
Not only are they being manipulated, Hillary is way ahead, 3 level chess ahead, maybe even ahead of Palin.
My Bombshell....
McCrystal is Hillary's V.P. Candidate when she runs.
Think of it, he is a Spec-Op career officer that has a get-er-done atittude, and gives her Military gravitas, on top of all over her "other" experience, and has a wedge issue for the pro-military South. She can carry middle of the road Dems and RINO's with a pro-military bent with him aboard.
We are being set up....
No reason to take the Lord’s name in vain. That name may not mean anything to you, but it does to me. No profanity is one of the posting rules here on FR.
I hadn’t realized that;
a) “JC” was a “profanity” or,
b) This site had become a theocracy.
Thanks for the info.
The General is a complete ass.
He was involved in the Tillman coverup and should never have been promoted by Obama.
Obama picked a lousy worthless jerk and I am not surprised.
No on McChrystal.
1) He’s a Dem.
2) Voted for Obama
3) Was the superior in charge when Pat Tillman died.
This really deserves a Picard facepalm. Just because the General trashed 0bama doesn't mean he's automatically a conservative! Suggestions like these are just stupid.
Agreed. I can't help but notice that Hillary is speaking a lot louder these days.
Heheh, another Palin worshipper who knws as much about his VP pick as he does his P.
He voted for Lord Ohaha as a General.
This should a complete lack of concern for his men, the military, our constitution and our country.
Trust no one in any position of power, who voted for Obozo and his anti America thugs.
It appears that the thugs of Obozo are setting up Mc to get rid of him. He will be just another rat thrown under Obozo’s bus.
