I think a lot of people are letting their disdain for Obama affect their opinions in this matter, but this is one thing he got right. I don’t understand all the sympathy McChrystal has been getting around here. No one can name one postive thing he has accomplished in fifteen months. Even he describes his signature effort, Marja, as a bleeding ulcer. The much ballyhooed offensive in Kandahar still hasn’t gotten off the ground, and the restrictive rules of engagement are McChrystal’s not Obama’s. And finally, i don’t think a commander who would lie on a Silver Star citation has enough integrity to be trusted with my son’s life?

Germany just scored.
I can not understand restrictive rules of engagement being put into play by a leader of troops makes no sense.Wreaks of liberalism.
Ugh! No one's, indeed.
That may be the case that McCrystal developed these however, Obama is the commander in chief and he supported this fully. I didn't like McCrystal from the get go...wasn't good for our troops IMO. and am very glad he is gone. Now if the same would occur with Bo we might just have a chance to survive all this ridiculous "Hope and Change" nobody in their right mind wants!
