[history]
Three key senators on Tuesday joined the Washington chorus questioning the judgment of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, adding that his fate is in the hands of President Obama.
The statement by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Lindsey Graham is important because it gives the Obama administration political cover if the president decides to fire McChrystal. The three senators are longtime backers of the military.

Why do these three even think they need to do this and provide cover for Commander Zero?
Ridiculous.

However right the General may have been in his opinion of the President, Obama has no choice but to fire him for stating that opinion on the record.

Ever since McCain was freed from POW camp, he has
sided against the Military.
He even joined with J. Fing Kerry to F the POW/MIAS.

What does any of this matter? McChrystal keeps his jobs with shut mouth and tied hands or Obama repalces him with the next fall guy. This is all just political gobbledy-gook which surrounds the real issue, which is the conduct of the war in Afghanistan.
It’s like the busted oil well. All the talk is peripheral to the real problem becasue nobody knows how to fix it.

Perfect way for “O” to shatter the solid Conservative military vote...and secure military votes for your re election...votes you would not have got otherwise!!!! Thanks Graham and McCain... keep it up, dummies!!
Are all Republican politicians congenital idiots?

That’s for sure. Although I believe that what McChrystal did was intentional and strategic - those three dopes should not be offering any cover to Zero at all - let him own this.

Can’t McCain ever shut up? This might have been the time for a statesman like silence.
