Conservatives should shed no tears over Gen. Stanley McChrystal's forced resignation as U.S. commander in Afghanistan this week. The man may have been a brilliant military strategist -- and is certainly a fine patriot -- but he exercised exceedingly poor judgment, which began long before he agreed to a Rolling Stone profile that got him fired. What's more, he squandered the chance to make a forceful case that the political calculus governing the Obama administration's Afghanistan policy endangers American lives and makes success less likely.
McChrystal's first mistake was to vote for Barack Obama.

She gets it...what I’ve been saying all week: McChrystal exhibited his first lack of discernment by voting for Obama...so nothing that has come to light this week surprises me.
In other words, if you voted for Obama...you would also think that Rolling Stone mag employs real journalists.
The people writing for Rolling Stone are probably better than half the hacks most of the newspapers in this country or the talking heads on tv. (Granted, that’s not saying a lot).
Sorry...but I can’t stomach Linda Chavez any more after her disgraceful lies about Jan Brewer and SB1070. Boycotting her op-eds, along with Peggy Noonan’s.
And he's a "true believer" in the "New COIN strategy," which many observers call hopelessly naive. ("If we don't shoot back at the Taliban, the people will begin to love us.") This Rolling Stone debacle certainly points to his naivete.
the democrat party has been anti-military for at least 30 years.. more like 40 years..
McChrystal might be a social liberal and naive when it comes to politics but the man can fight...in a saner world a man like this would be sent to the Mexican/Arizona border to root out and kill those drug cartel invaders...a la General Pershing going after Poncho Villa...I hope he is still on active duty when President Palin takes over...she will know how to use a man like this.
The guy is supposedly a top spec ops warrior and he votes for an obvious usurper who was financed by the Saudis and Indonesia. He votes for a mole and possible agent. Stan “ain’t” too bright.
Maybe he needs to crack a book and lay off the marathons. The guy he voted for is making sure lots of brave American troops are getting killed.
Hey Stan did you know about the back channel of intel from the Muslim Brotherhood spooks in the US govt back to the Taliban and Al Qeada?
Dumbo the 4 star.
Oh O knows what he is doing. He is getting American troops killed and the military humiliated for his boss the King of SA to the great delight of the Islamic world.
Idiots like McChrystal voted for an Al Qeada mole.
Like the one who wrote this article? McChrystal exhibits foolishness...even beyond voting for Obama.
I think maybe he woke up to what is happening.
I know some military guys here may think I am a basher but I am not. Our guys are being set up and that bothers me. The military often gets sold out like the French in Algeria and IndoChina. Our guys in Vietnam. German Army taken over by an Austrian usurper with SA and SS thugs.
This time it is far far worse. He had Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas moles in his campaign. Campaign money was coming from the Middle East. I would bet dollars to donuts that intel is filtering back to kill our soldiers. I have no doubt.
