The relationship between President Barack Obama and the commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan has been put under severe strain by Gen Stanley McChrystal's comments on strategy for the war.
According to sources close to the administration, Gen McChrystal shocked and angered presidential advisers with the bluntness of a speech given in London last week.
The next day he was summoned to an awkward 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen, where the president had arrived to tout Chicago's unsuccessful Olympic bi

How about some impeachment talk?
Americans - and someone’s relatives - are dying for what out there?
IMPEACH!
A better headline might be, not that 0zero is furious, but that he is “butt-hurt”.
Pure arrogance on the part of Obama — I couldn’t believe that picture when I found it yesterday.
Truth hurts, huh? Lord have mercy, O is so inadequate.
He went public because he needs OUR help to support the troops.!
Obama has had the report for months and done nothing. McChrystal is protecting our soldiers and needs support!

... they are busy selling out america.
And making friends with the dictators and tyrants. You have to remember, he is taking us into post America. He is taking us to the Obamanana Republic.
You just have to remember the Democrats think of Vietnam as a victory. Just not for us. Which is why they are going down this road of Vietnamization for Afghanistan.
I remember reading General MacArthur fought the communist too..Now General Stanley has to fight the commies in the white house..
These pictures speak a 1,000 words and they were released by the WH. He couldn’t even pretend for a WH photo-op. This may be why Zinni and others are now going after Obama — they got snowed in the election by Obama pretending Afghanistan was a ‘good’ war and they needed more troops — all rhetoric and no substance..
Welcome to Afganis-Nam.
I think you’re right. Obozo has to be thinking about 2010. McChrystal can’t be “handled.”
Why is it we have to read the NYT and WP as carefully and suspiciously as an old Soviet citizen read his copy of _Pravda_ or _Izvestia_?
He can question ZObama in official correspondence anytime he wants. And he should question Obama. But it, IMO, does not matter who the POTUS is, a field or theater commander does not publicly question the orders he has been given. He either does his best to carry them out, or resigns and continues the fight in public as a private citizen. McChrystal, in London, appears to have gone over the line.
Why? Cause he’s making you look like a big, indecisive wussy???
Someone should inform Obama that Afghanistan is a UN mission...
It reminds me of “You lie.” Some people can’t handle the truth.
