Makes me proud to be an Army vet.

Every thing falls apart and obama says don’t worry be happy.............what a mess.

Contrast this with Iraq in the fall of 2006. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was fired just one day after the elections in early November.

Never forgot that - Red Nancy meets with Bush and tells him, 'You have 48 hours to fire Rummy or the impeachment starts', and Rumsfeld is gone in 24 hours.

Maobama has been dragging his heels so his operatives can stir up anti-war sentiment across the country which effectively created our loss is Viet Nam.....not our brave military.

I fully expected the Commander-in-Chaos to have arranged for riots on the Berkeley campus by now. Except, hah, McChrystal has pre-empted Hussein's foul plans and nipped them in the bud.

MacArthur, McChrystal.....I think I'll have a Big Mac in their honor for dinner tonight!

From yesterday:

“McCHRYSTAL: MORE FORCES OR ‘MISSION FAILURE’”

Apparently, Obama and company have forgotten all the cries they leveled towards President Bush, “LISTEN TO YOUR GENERALS!”

This is a matter of HONOR.
He can not in loyalty to his men/women. Lead them knowing that they are in jeopardy. (not enough troops)

Thank God he is showing his LOYALTY to the Troops, and holds his HONOR as a mark of Character.

In Kabul, some members of McChrystal's staff said they don't understand why Obama called Afghanistan a "war of necessity" but still hasn't given them the resources they need to turn things around quickly.

The answer is very simple.
OBAMA IS A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a no win situation. POTUS seen as caving to his Generals is a really bad thing not because the Generals are wrong but he is seen as an incompetent commander in how he has handled this. Or, he denies his choice of commander’s request and the commander on the ground quits which again makes him look like an ass-hat.

Nice job Barry.

General Stanley McChrystal is a hunter....a no-nonsense warrior (also, someone that greatly respected former SecDef Rumsfeld and understood it was the former SecDef who turned our shooters loose in 04-06 that allowed the following strategies, ‘the surge’, in Iraq to help be so successful).

President Bush checkmates Iran by putting our military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now this clueless twit wants to give back Afghanistan, take pressure off Iran, just when they are near developing nuclear capability, and appease Russia by taking missile defense of Poland off the table.

And disagreeing with him is racist? These people are going to get us all killed.

[Truth is a Weapon]

And a CIC who does not.

[Lazamataz]

McChrystal to resign? NO PROBLEM! *She* is ready to serve!!!!

[Uncle Miltie]

Amen. Refuse Defeat.

MCCHRYSTAL TO RESIGN IF NOT GIVEN RESOURCES FOR AFGHANISTAN


Makin' the boss look bad...THAT'S RACIALIST. That's racialist trickology right there!

And a commander who probably just lost his career. I have a lot of respect for the guy. He's doing the "right thing", but it's going to cost him his career. Even if Obama sends more troops, he still has to fire McChrystal to save face.

Of course he would probably have been fired, anyway. He's going to get the blame for the lack of progress in Afghanistan, even though it's congress and the president who are holding out on the resources needed to succeed.

I wonder when the military will decide it isn’t worth dying for a bunch of dumbass voters that vote for the likes of Gore Kerry and Obama
