I’m sure it was all the General could do to not reach out and grab him by the lapels and read him the riot act.

It only took 25 minutes to give the general the dressing down he “deserved”.

And here for a week, I predicted that Obama would meet with the General.
In Afghanistan.
The sheer arrogance of this guy is beyond belief.

25 minutes for The Army, how many hours for the Chicago whorehouse?
To: Starman417
This leads me to believe that Obama wouldn’t have met with McChrystal had Chicago won the Olympic bid. The three O’s would have been celebrating instead. This really sucks.

Obama says, follow my lead general, Me and Mighty Mo will show you how to win.

The general looks like he is visulizing his letter of resignation.
“...It is with great regret that I must resign my commission in order to run against you in the 2012 election.”

Of course Obama is talking instead of listening.

I can’t stand this SOB! Our country and our military are in danger and he jets around to Copenhagen? His priorities amaze me.

Maybe he stumbled upon the movie, MacArthur, and thought of himself as copying President Harry Truman. Of course Truman got off the plane.

According to Politico, the short meeting included the wives meeting for the first time ,
which would include the expected social chit chat and photo ops.
Maybe Michelle gave them a lecture about taking the gloves off and taking no prisoners.
BTW- Do we even bother capturing Taliban anymore ?
The strategy meeting was probably all of 5 minutes.
