Just saw McChrystal on 60 minutes. He said he only talked to Obama once so far. We’ll see what happens.

After a big dog and pony show in DC, they will reject McChrystal’s recommendations. Obama is probably steamed that the request was leaked. As a result, he will throw McChrystal under the bus—effectively making him look like a fool because he made Obama squirm. Instead, Obama will listen to Joe “Plugs” Biden—and then will throw him under tha bus when things don’t work out too.

Does anyone remember Bush being crucified for supposedly not listening to the commanders on the ground??

Where are all those people?

and Remember, Vietnam was not lost in Vietnam, but in Washington D.C.

Do we ever learn?

I don’t think McCrystal changed the Rules of Engagement (with regard to the air support) I think that was made higher than him. Also, I saw Gates on the today saying he was “sitting” on McCrystal’s report and it hadn’t been sent to the White House????

I believe him too Obama is not invested in Afghanistan he will cut and run and it will go down in history as his FAILURE. When he makes that decision General’s Mccrystal and Petraus should resign. In fact if I were still on active duty I would never want to be involved in anything that Obama wanted he is a snake oil salesman bending to the political pressure of the LEFT FRINGE LUNATICS.

This move will make America less safe.

I predicted this last week. Obama’s numbers are tanking again. He knows if he sends the 40,000 troops his base with come unglued.

He’s a dove. His heart is not in to this war.

THis stance against Iran is a facade.

McChrystal will resign and the stock market will react wildly.

Part of McChrystal’s strategy is basically American soiders die first before “civilians”. Hope to hell you don’t get ambushed if "civis" are near because you will not get support.

Really goes over well with those about to deploy/already there. Moral is at an all time high I tell you. /s

What is up is McCrystal knows where to go but is afraid to go there right now. Everything he has worked for is now being denegrated and spat upon by the CIC and now he must either relegate himself as another Westmoreland or stick his finger in the eye of the politicians and gain the eternal respect that Patton will never lose.

Charles makes a good point at the end, but unless he knows McChrystal or knows someone close to him, such a prediction is no more than beltway speculation.

I once reminded a relative of mine that Vietnam did not fall to the Vietcong, but to a full scale invasion by the NVA. She called me a vicious liar.

1) Round up all the Anarchist punks from the G20 riots
2) Send then to Afghanistan
3) Install Joe “nobody messes with Joe” Biden as their CO.
4) They don’t come home until the Taliban are defeated

I think he said that, “if” Obama does not give the troops, he’ll resign.

On the other hand, is that smart? To resign? I mean what happens then?
