Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the man charged with executing President Obama’s war plan for Afghanistan, has gone rogue in an explosive article in Rolling Stone. He and his staff crack wise on just about everyone. Obama (”unprepared”), Vice President Biden (”bite me”), American ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry (betrayer), special envoy Richard Holbrooke (”wounded animal”) and White House National Security Adviser Jim Jones (”clown”).

"McCrystal and Eikenberry both have to go!"

Right and take the troops with them. General Petraeus said there was only double digits of al Queda there. So what we have is mission creep involving ourselves in a local power struggle. This isn't a cause for our troops to die - no matter who wins, we lose.

Now thanks to Obama we see the breakdown of our military. It’s not like McChrystal doesn’t know how things work. Why would he have to go out on such a limb? To bring attention to how poorly Obama’s strategy is? To protect the troops? We all know Obama ‘will stand Muslim when the political winds shift in an ugly direction’. And knew just how to set it up to do just that.

Sadly this article is more about personalities than what really matters. Our govt is out of control on all fronts flailing around hoping to magically figure out the path to success. The void caused by this is going to be filled and the outcome will be bad for the entire world. The electorate of this country better get a clue and start rectifying the situation ASAP. In the end even the most stanch democrats aren’t going to like the outcome. They’ll never figure out how we came to it tho.

Riddle me this—ANYONE-—

Why would a general—of all people—....

(A) Voted for BHO in the first place?

(B) Give an interview to Rolling Stone Magazine?
