You should have read the whole story before commenting. He said the one person he likes in the Administration is Hillary Clinton. Why are some you all so fast to want someone to run for President when you don’t even know how they lean. In this case it is toward Hillary.

I'd like to see several more top military commanders/Generals resign in support of him...
If not, why not?

I don’t know that he felt that way months ago, and from what I’ve read, the reporter took many liberties in the way he wrote the story.

Good for the general. He’s a hero. Obama is a sh*t.

Michael Yon, whose reporting I admire greatly, has been highly critical of McChrystal.
I am sure he will be pleased with this news!
To: DGHoodini
The General is just a racist. </sarcasm

I posted this on another thread. It seems appropriate here as well:General McChrystal goes rogue.
Housing sales dip.
Judge slams Obama's drilling ban.
Gaza heats up.
Blago is on trial and the dirt is flying.
Polls say Hillary better POTUS than Obama.
No Congressional budget this year.
Insurance costs rise.
Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
To: DGHoodini
Wonderful. Now he is FREE to speak his mind, right?

the resignation could be orchestrated. mcchrystal prostrates himself on the alter of obama, but the commander in chief magnanimously refuses to accept the resignation.
obama gets a double whammy.

“Obama has not yet accepted it.”
I don’t get it. If you resign, you resign. Both parties do not have to agree.
To: DGHoodini
I expect O will NOT accept the resignation. He fears what the General will say if he’s totally off the leash.

My opinion? he and his staff got comfortable with the reporter being around, and let their guard down after time, and gave the scumbag more than he ever hoped for. But if you read closely, it was his staff members, off duty, in their cups, who said most of the disrespectful comments.
OPne of them already fired by McChrystal himself.

So who's the lucky [sarc] dude who gets to carry out Obamas Afgan policy now? Maybe he can recall General Wesley Clark to active duty. /Sarc off

But comments by the administraton over the last week that they were committed to the July withdrawal date were the last straw for McCrystal IMO.
The comments in the article appear to have come over a long period of time, and well before last week.
To: DGHoodini
I hope he has a standing job offer at Fox.
I sense a disturbance in the Kenyan force...
As if millions of idiot traitors cried out in terror, and were suddenly made fools of...

Pulling this trigger takes 2.
