I hope he hits the sunday morning chat circuit, and doesn’t just go underground to write his memoirs.

I read somewhere that he was a BO supporter. Guess that got old.

I wish he had resigned first, and then shot off his mouth. But, we’ll see how it plays out now.

Obama is unwinding like a cheap suit.

I’m thinking that McChrystal saw that Bambi was setting him up to fail and he didn’t want to go down with the ship. This was a good way to get out and set himself up for the future.

He had to know the result of talking trash like that to Rolling Stone. He just cut a deal to get while the gettin’s good, hit the lecture circuit and make some bucks, open the door to a VP slot on a Palin/McChrystal ticket, write a book, etc etc etc.

Did they give him a cynanide capsule? Geesh this reminds me of when Irwin Rommel was arrested for complicity with the plot to assassinate Hitler.

You know what they say,”Armed Forces win wars and Lawyers lose them.” You know a war is going bad when the enemy personally faxes you and tells you they are going to attack.

Are you serious? VP slot? He voted for Obama and his rules of engagement bull has gotten our boys at the front killed. Let him quit and disappear from public sight.

Didn't say it was just or right.

If Bambi can get elected POTUS without even being a natural-born citizen, your objections to McChrystal as VP are transparent to the electorate.

Isn’t there some sort of rule that any thread with Klien in the subject requires a barf alert? If there is no such rule there should be.

Perhaps but not transparent to Madame President.

That is exactly what I was thinking. McChrystal is getting out while he can and laying the blame at Obama's feet.

Where it belongs.

McChrystal's not making a 'mistake' like people think he is. He's doing it deliberately and for a reason.
