well they can’t say it’s Bush’s fault anymore. time to play ball Obamie.. like a real man.
McChrystal probably was looking for an excuse to get back to the US and begin prepping is family with emergency supplies.
Obama replaces the guy he chose, with the guy Bush had chosen....Too Much! Too Much!
I wonder if anyone explained to The Won that he just demoted General Patreus?
Good to know we're still @#$%^&@....
And now the question is: will McChrystal choose to tell us all what he really thinks? We will know the answer to this by watching to see where he goes and what rank he wears. Three and Four star general officers wear the rank of their appointment. No three or four star appointment, no third or fourth star, they revert to the grade of Major General (two stars). On retirement, they normally retire in the highest grade served, but can be made to retire as a Major General if they have fallen from favor.
If McChrystal gets another three or four star job, or retires as a four star general, you can bet that the price paid was to keep his mouth shut. If he’s out the door as a Major General, he will be spilling the beans very soon.
I believe McChrystal wanted the whole world to know a few things about this administration...
General Betray-us?
Can’t wait to hear how MSNBC spins this one.
Remember when they called him “General Betray-us” ??
Remember Hillary and other democrats accused him of being a liar ? (That was OK, saying Obama lied is now, get it??)
The Left is going to have a hard time cheering this as even elected Democrats supported the “betray us” peanut gallery razz.
25% of the Senate (that would be roughly HALF of the Democrats there):
(2007)
The 72-25 vote condemned the full-page ad that appeared in The New York Times last week as Gen. David Petraeus, the top military commander in Iraq, testified on Capitol Hill. The ad was headlined: “General Petraeus or General Betray Us? Cooking the books for the White House.”

Memo to General Petraeus: The media is not your buddy. Don’t let magazine reporters hang around you and your staff for a month.
Good luck.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal for President 2012!!!!
President Obama announced Wednesday that he has accepted (Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation as the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan following a scathing article in which he and his aides were quoted criticizing the administration for its handling of the war. )
That is the military. You fight to protect a citizens rights but you do not get to use those same rights. The vast majority of civilians know and speak out that Obama has no clue what he is doing in with Afghanistan or much else for that matter.
Darn, my money was on George Clooney replacing McCrystal ...
Obama’s General gets dumped, Bush’s General returns.
Can Bush return as CIC too?
I’ve always liked General Petraeus. He seems like a man of character and honor. I feel sorry for him, having to serve under a CIC like Obama, but am glad someone will be looking out for the troops. I’m sure that’s the only reason he’s still around ... his sense of obligation and loyalty to the men and women of the armed forces and the mission. Hopefully Obama doesn’t run him out too.
Seems like a down grade for both military men.
