Looks to me like McCrystal was set-up by White House libs.
Who in their right mind would authorize a publication like Rolling Stone to cover the war in Afghanistan?
In other words ... McCrystal is toast ...
He voted for Ubama? What a pantload.
Agreed. Of all publications, the dying, childish, all-but-forgotten 'Rolling Stone'??
Of course, if it was Pres. Bush facing such criticism from a General in the field, it would be trumpeted as evidence of Bush’s incompetence, stupidity and lack of leadership.
That said, the General should have resigned instead of complaining to the press.
McCrystal had a civilian PR person who arranged that interview. Can you imagine the reporter editorializing by saying:
McChrystal, the article reports, took control of the war, the article states, “by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House.”
Those are not the General’s words.
That may be, subject to the distinct probability that said "civilian" is a civil-servant lib working in the Pentagon.
We shall see.
Like Truman fired McArther during the Korean war, he will probably be fired...(I think it was McArther) People were furious but Truman did it anyway...He said that the general didn’t insult him personally, he insulted the President of the United States....The general got a ticker tape parade in New York if my memory serves me....
