THe idiot is, drum roll ...

Gen. Stanley McChrystal !

If he truly gave a crap about his country, our country, he would NOT apologize and resign on that stance.

This is not a name-calling moment.

It is easy to call them from the bench.

General McChrystal sees the betrayal of our troops by Obama. There is a much larger story that will be coming out over the next few months.

A story of command hesitation and game playing with the Afghans.

This was not an off-hand comment of General McChrystal, but a long running series of comments about the growing futility of the AfPak war. He knew what he was doing and knows the consequences. He is sacrificing his career for the eventual good of his troops.

Our political gamesmanship is killing the troops he loves and he can't stand anymore.

Afghanistan is devolving, our command structure is breaking apart and will continue to reorganize away from Karzai's goals. Much more to come.
