The Hill ^ | Wednesday, June 23, 2010 | Michael O'Brien

Gen. Stanley McChrystal left the White House on Wednesday morning after meeting for approximately half an hour with President Barack Obama.

SNIP

Obama is expected to make remarks on the situation in Afghanistan and McChrystal's fate at approximately 11:35 a.m., following a meeting with his war advisors. It's not clear whether McChrystal, a normal participant in those meetings, will return to the White House to participate.

I’m cubicle bound but I can do the transcript:

I, me, I, mine, me, Bush’s fault, unexpected, I, me, I, I, I, Bush’s fault, Afghanistan is my number one priority, I, me, me, I, Bush’s fault,

If he’s giving another speech, you can expect the stock market to go down. If he doesn’t stay off the tv, my IRA is going to be worth 0.

20 minutes for BP 30 minutes for McCrystal

Bet Barry spent more time helping BP engineer the Lockerbie deal...

I would not be surprised if Mr. Dithers comes out and says he will make a decision on Gen. McChrystal “in the coming weeks”

LOL

THE TALKING POINTS ARE OUT!
MSNBC talking heads reporting about how poorly the war effort is going under General McChrystal’s command.
Also reporting that President Obama “bought in “ to McChrystal’s war strategy.

I wonder if he’ll have something to say about the historic plunge in new-home sales.

He "bought into" it but didn't give McC the resources needed to complete the task. Management by fiat.

MSNBC *is* his cable channel; now, if they would simply broadcast him, LIVE, 24/7, perhaps he'd not be in eggregious situations as he finds himself nowadays.

Or better yet, give him the GOLF CHANNEL. That will protect us all from him.

CBS News' Mark Knoller Tweets no sign of McChrystal:

No sign yet of Gen. McChrystal yet returning for 1135a Afghanistan review session at the WH. That might suggest what happened. 6 minutes ago via web

MSNBC is getting all the talking points early these days.

This shows that EVERYTHING being done lately is to play to the far left.

They are the ones who made Zero's ratings dive last week to -22. They're the only ones the WH is playing to lately. This whole McCrystal thing will be fashioned to shore up the left, not to win the war.

A variation on the listened to all the experts on deep water drilling?
