I believe the discussion of the July deadline yesterday is why we see McCrystal speaking up today.

He knows he can't possibly win this thing by July and he is angry at the White House.

I believe you’re dead on, McCrystal knows for sure it can’t be won by then but to tell the Taliban a date we even begin to leave is asinine.

If Obama does go through with the cut and run, there better be a mass resignition and retirement of a good number the top generals. Of course, a lot of them are too political to have much integrity.

McCrystal, aka Obama's lap dog can go pound sand.

He says: ""Violence is up, and I think violence is going to continue to rise..."

He's been carrying out obamas ROE that protects the Taliban more that our troops, that tie our troops hands behind them.

They even admitted that the new ROE's would cost more American lives, but that "It would be worth it in the end."

Worth it to who, you traitorous bast*rds?

Carrying it even further this year, they want to give a medal for 'restraint' - for not firing back when fired upon. Never in the history of warfare.

I won't go into the instances that have cost the lives of our heroes due to these insane rules. I get to angry.

The Taliban love the new ROE's. They know how to take full advantage of them. They can now, for example, come as close to the fire bases as they want as long as their guns are concealed - can't be seen. Our troops are not allowed to shoot. I'll leave it you to figure out the disadvantage here - And the troops can't depend on air cover when pinned down - .

And these ROE's, that McCrystal thoroughly endorsed, have caused much higher causualties month after month - more than since the first year.

McCrystal shares blood on his hands.

And who the he*l are Rahm and gang to run operations on the ground? Lily livered, twinkle-toed wusses. Has even one of that gang of thugs served?

I pray to see the day they get their just due - it won't be pretty.
