I smell a best-selling non-fiction book in the immediate future of Gen. McChrystal, just saying.
Retirement forthwith. You don't survive being relieved - usually ever - but NEVER when relieved of theater command.
Sorry, but I’m not able to find anything that he’s SAID that is against the UCMJ. Can you specify what he said wrong?
My reply was in reference to your comment on reaction if McChrystal had said these things about Bush as Obama continually does. As Obama is POTUS, Article 88 controls what cannot be said by a commissioned officer about him.McChrystal had to be dealt with. He could have been charged and brought before a general court martial.
yup. ego. when it comes to that Obamie will take a drop of water and magnify it into a hurricane.
“It is really a shame but he knows the UCMJ and should not have broken the law. Thank God he is not going to Courts Martial....he certainly could have.”
What evidence is there he broke military law? Decorum, maybe. Politics, definitely. But methinks you’ve fell for what is largely a non-story. If people are upset, he must have done something wrong. And since he’s who he is,l he should have known better. Except at the bottom of the controversy, there’s not much to it. Which is why when the MSM wrings its hands about the scandal you don’t hear any specific quotes (attributable to McChrystal). Just that bad things were said.
Read the article. I didn’t think it was a big deal. Though it’s hard to tell, what with the author’s rambling, slap-dash style.
“Patraeus says to Obama, all your authority belong to me. Shoosh. Obama is powned by two Generals in one day.”
Please lay off the 14 year-old lingo.
Please lay off the 14 year-old lingo.
Its 9 year old language, and I enjoy using it especially when discussing Mr. Skittles.
They do. Gen. Patraeus should watch his back with the Marxist in chief. Wouldn't trust him for a minute.

I pray you are right.
mark Levin agreed with you tonite.
I agree. it is bizzare...Levin said, the “diplomates’, Biden, and even Obozo have been gunning for Mcrystal for a long time..Lets see what they do with Petreus...wonder if we will get “BETRAY-US” AGAIN.
