No the man was set up. Clearly he was duped by the rolling stone reporter in to thinking the article would be a true telling of life there.’

The intent was to undermine the general and give Obama another chance to play to his base....as the”kick ass president”.....

"...as the”kick ass president”..."

Are you kidding me? The comments make Obama out to be disconnected from what is going on in Afghan. Several people I know in uniform that voted for Obama are saying, out loud, what a terrible Commander-in-Chief this guy is (Finally coming to terms). Those are votes he won't get in 2012. Believe me, there are millions who are thinking the same thing right now, which is why the White House is in panic mode over the article.

If Congress grants McChrystal his resignation, that is a very respected and uncontrollable (From a political standpoint) loose cannon that is directly aimed at the Obama Administration. Sec. Gates is officially countered if the resignation goes through. The idiot Gates will be on full display if McChrystal decides to really break his silence, which I hope he will.
