It's getting a little tiring reading posts recommending generals primarily because they are generals. First, it was Patreaus, who describes himself as an “Rockerfeller Republican,” and now McChrystal, who apparently voted for Obama and has caused scores of Allied casualties because of his rules of engagement.

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?!?

"Clinton-McChrystal 2012" would be a lot more likely.

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.

Yeah, there's a winning combination...

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.

See post 26 and the link, IMHO this is a setup to politically destroy Obama via no experience and lack of judgment.

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.

Chris Matthews and John Stewart have spoken out against Obama recently, too.

Are they VP material in your estimation?

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.

To: ClearCase_guy; All
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.

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.
