If true, expect the affirmative action president to fire him and replace him with a Wesley Clark clone.

Isn’t he the guy that O appointed? He said he could do the job with existing resources.

Maybe we were lied to again?

McChrystal took over in June 2009, just 3 months ago!

I expect re-enlistment rates to plumet over the next 4 to 8 years.

At what point does the love of country get over ridden by the lack of support by the CinC

Can’t blame him. Wouldn’t attempt to. I’d advise our troops to do the same. No sense in putting your life on the line for a country who doesn’t hold it in as high esteem. Come home, rest and wait to see what’s required here. There comes a time when, all Bravo Sierra aside, the buck stops at the President’s desk, and the Speaker’s and the Senate Majority Leader’s. I wouldn’t ask our men and women to do what we can’t support. Let’s heal our wounded, set up funds for those who are unable to fend for themselves because of their sacrifice and call it a day.

It’s time to draw the line in the sand. No support — no troops.

I doubt three months ago he never heard of the place. He is the guy O appointed and I assume he did so because McChrystal told him he could do the job.

Barry doesn’t know anything about General McChrystal wanting more trooops in Afghanistan - after all he has never received an official request.

He doesn’t know any more about Afghanistan than Charles Gibson knows about ACORN.
