I agree with the premise that the real issue here is not that on the surface and the one everyone in the media is making such an issue of — that being McChrystal’s behavior.
The real underline issue being missed is the “why” behind and for Said McChrystal’s behavior.
Most of us here over the past year have read random news media reports suggesting that the top military brass in Afghanistan are very frustrated with this Jack Squat administration’s over-reliance on drones and not enough reliance on actual boots on the ground other than to use them as glorified photo-ops and pacification tools. In other words, as par, the US once again is involved in a conflict ... with one hand tied behind its back.
Accordingly, McChrystal’s behavior is more about the growing frustration and divisive nature of this Jack Squat Barry administration’s Afghanistan strategy...one that will NOT result in ‘a win’ nor ‘a victory’. The current growing chaos and deterioration in Afghanistan more than proves what I am saying/indicating. Hey, replacing/firing McChrystal is NOT going to change what is happening...it is going to take a major shift in this Jack Squat administration’s current strategy...
D'OHbama is Muslim, the Taliban is Muslim. OF COURSE he doesn't want to attack fellow members of the faith.
If "Bite Me" Biden wasn't a few bricks shy of a full load upstairs, he'd be able to figure out why D'OHbama doesn't want to put the boots to his own team (Islam).
