Obama and his flunkies! That's who!
This has "Dead Fish" Rahm's dirty fingerprints all over it.
Here is the difference. Rahm and his thugs can get away with threatening GOP Senators, Congressman, and their aides because the press will let them slime away.
The Community Organizers who majored in "Black Studies" who permeate the White House staff cannot get away with trashing a 4 star general who is fighting their war for their Commander in Chief. They cannot get away with trashing our military.
Why?
Because men and women dying on the battlefield trumps his "Chicago Way" cheap politics. No President, ever, has been able to sell that snake oil to the American people when it comes to our military men and women.
Johnson didn't even remotely try to hang all the faults of Vietnam on the military, but his aides did when they saw what their what their micromanagement had done to the war. Eventually, Johnson became consumed by Vietnam.
Afgahnaistan was the "Good War" on the Obama campaign trail. The Democrats all followed this ridiculous line because they wanted to inflict maximum political damage on GW Bush and the war in Iraq.
Now, the "Chickens are Coming Home to Roost!"
