That is one of the damnedest things I've ever heard. Just think about it.
Wow was I wrong. Obama is a real worm. McChrystal is serving him a cold, cold lunch.
I have to say that I’m suspicious of McMaster. He accepted Onada’s ROE without even a whimper.
But it looks like he may have decided to pick his fight—and an Afghan Surge is it. I like his timing, in any case. Drops one more negative into The Dear Leader’s lap.
If Onada fires him, it’ll just fire up the conservative base even more. I hope as many folks as can are gearing up for “Can You Hear Us Now” campaigns being planned for multiple cities around the country. I plan to attend the one in Manhattan on the 17th of October.
The 1st Idiot is using the lives of our troops to pay for his delay in making a damned decision.
It’s either a war or it’s not. If the 1st Idiot isn’t willing to do what needs to be done, then get our people the hell out of there.
Too Fracking Bad! Submit the request!
I don’t know where this article got the idea that McChrystal has threatened to resign. He has NOT. The only talk of resignation came from unknown sources who said the McChrystal THEY know would resign. McChrystal is no hero here. Not by a longshot.
Quote from article:
Three officers at the Pentagon and in Kabul told McClatchy Newspapers that the McChrystal they know would resign before he would stand behind a faltering policy that he thought would endanger his forces or the strategy.
Here is the original article:

REPOST:
McChrystal: More Forces or ‘Mission Failure’ (Drudge headline)

“McChrystal makes clear that his call for more forces is predicated on the adoption of a strategy in which troops emphasize protecting Afghans rather than killing insurgents or controlling territory. Most starkly, he says: ‘[I]nadequate resources will likely result in failure. However, without a new strategy, the mission should not be resourced.’”
The true context of McChrystal’s call, (piss be upon him,) for more Troops is in the first line of a paragraph far down the aricle.
It is NOT his goal to protect our WARRIORS.
It is NOT his goal to defeat the Taliban.
It is NOT his goal to protect the National Security of this country!
The headline for this article is GROSSLY misleading.
Me to McChrystal:
YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM! YOU ARE BETRAYING OUR WARRIORS!
ME TO THE PENTAGON: When are you going to do the right thing by our TROOPS?????
If I was a general or any military leader I’d run from ostammer as fast as I could move. Ostammer is a career-killer for serious military men.
Bill Roggio describes the internal struggle over Afghan war policy. The account suggests that consensus has somehow not been reached within the administration and that there are now serious divisions within the senior leadership about where the campaign in Afghanistan is going next.
