BAHAHAHA ... The Ego has landed. I think this was McChrystal's intention all along. He sees the writing on the wall. This will be Bam Bam's tar baby now. I feel bad for our troops and any failures will be laid at the feet of Petraius.
Same old same old from Obama and the progressive liberal scum.
Same old same old from some of the same clowns on FR.
I disliked McCrystal from the start ... In the Rolling Stone interview, he admitted to voting for Obama during the election. Problem #1.
McCrystal was hand picked by Obama as his man in Afghanistan. Problem #2.
McCrystal gave an interview to Rolling Stone? WTF ... stupid stupid stupid ... Problem #3
I for one am glad Petraeus is being given command. He developed modern day COIN and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Iraq ... Bush didn’t save the country, Petraeus and his staff and the US Armed forces did.
For the clueless Freepers: Overseeing Centcom is not the same as running/managing the war in Afghanistan ... Petraeus was offered command ... he was not demoted ... He will be (from my understanding) being running the war in Afghanistan just as he ran the war in Iraq during the surge ...
Any person not supporting Petraeus in Afghanistan is a waste of oxygen ... this includes all the stupid liberal progressive scum, and some of the clowns pretending to conservatives posting here on FR.
I hate Obama and wish him failure ... I love our troops and America and wish success in Afghanistan. The Taliban and AQ must be defeated at all costs.
