Either way, Obama is the loser. If he fires McChrystal, he is portrayed as a petty narcissist who gets all wee-wee’d up over a few snarky comments, not directly from the general, but his aides. If he keeps McChrystal on, Obama is viewed as a weak nancy-boy who cannot stand up to a real man. Our allies in NATO are watching this very, very closely.
He wants to see mass resignations from the Office Corps and enlistments-re-enlistments to plummet.
If the General is fired or resigns, as a private citizen can he do the talk shows and “opine”?
O is indeed a “petty narcissist” and a “nancy boy”. You nailed it.
“Our allies in NATO are watching this very, very closely.”
So are our enemies.
