Some 16 year old who works at a Dairy Queen would have a better resume than Obama.

Nice post. Obama better watch out. What goes around comes around. It may have felt good to hold McChrystal’s career in his hands and summarily bring it to an inglorious end. May a fleeting memory of the arrogant, merciless way he dealt with this four-star general cross Obama’s mind when his own career ends in a spectacular, self-inflicted flame out.

As you look at how unqoulified the usurper is, what does that say about his supporters and those who voted for him?

Now THERE’s an idea.

He could be our Conservative Messiah — I feel great about the chances of the TOTUS-reader losing in 2012. Then I look at our field (yes, including Sarah) and feel bad again.

That Rolling Stone article said that McChrystal voted for 0bama. Has that been confirmed anywhere else? (I didn’t read the RS article.)

The amazing part is that McChrystal is an Obamite.

Hey! That should be 2009-2013.

Yeah, if he did a complete 180 on 90% of his beliefs.

Look for Clinton/McChrystal as the dims nominees in 2012.

McChrystal is a liberal whose rules of engagement cost scores of coalition soldiers their lives.

he should have been fired, but not for the reasons he was.

“We could be our Conservative Messiah”

FReepers were posting similar things about Scott Brown six months ago.

Why is it I get the impression you actually know very little about McChrystal? Joe Sestek was an admiral. Wesley Clark and Colon Powell were generals. Lots of liberals are generals and admirals.

You need to buy a clue.

Very impressive, but just about all generals have impressive resumes.

I'd vote for him because he understands the WOT.
Most liberals and conservatives simply cannot conceive of the fact that the USA is losing the WOT. They cannot believe that everyday there are more and more folks bent on the destruction of the USA.
