He’s lucky that he wasn’t summarily executed, that’s what the Roman emperors and despots like Hitler, Stalin and Mao did in situations like this and I’m sure that Obama is beyond enraged over this and would kill him if it was legal.

Should have arrested Obama and marched him out of the White House at gunpoint.
Rahm wants a Crisis? McChrystal could have given him the Mother of all crises.
Now, McChrystal will have to go wash his mouth out with lye soap for all the lies.
But I guess it was “lie or lose your retirement benefits” and McChrystal didn’t consider it a fair choice.

I’m talking about hearing from high ranking elected or appointed members of government.

I'm confused...can someone tell me what exactly it was that McChrystal said that was so damning? I read the entire Rolling Stone article and didn't see anything that would warrant resigning or being let go. The only thing I saw was something an aide said -
According to sources familiar with the meeting, McChrystal ...thought Obama looked "uncomfortable and intimidated" by the roomful of military brass. Their first one-on-one meeting took place in the Oval Office four months later, after McChrystal got the Afghanistan job, and it didn't go much better. "It was a 10-minute photo op," says an adviser to McChrystal. Obama clearly didn't know anything about him, who he was. Here's the guy who's going to run his fucking war, but he didn't seem very engaged. The Boss was pretty disappointed."
WTF?

I would think a military vocation would instill a strong sense of national security and defending this country which generally precludes voting for Democrats least of all a hard core leftist such as BHO. One would think so. :(

If you really want a good idea of what is going on in A’stan, don’t trust Yon. He was kicked out of his embed position for breaching Operation Security. If you want the truth, try starting over at Blackfive. I’ll warn you though, they don’t hold back.

You would be surprised how many officers are Democrats. It is the belief on Free Republic that everyone in the military is a Republican and that is not even remotely true. Although it does make people feel better saying such thing and really it does not hurt anything when FREEPERS claim this. Enlisted members are probably more Republican than Officers IMHO. Of course I will be blasted for this statement by some but I do have proof on my side from the MANY officers who have retired and state their true beliefs as a Democrat.
To: Gen. Burkhalter
I got an email, (forwarded many times of course,) supposedly originated by a senior USMC NCO.
The NCO said that when he went into the corp it was against regs to be homosexual.
Then on his first day in office Clinton made it optional with his "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy.
The Gunnery Sgt said he was now getting out, before Obama makes it mandatory.

He would make a great President in 2012.
Do we really want the Democrats to win again in 2012? What makes you think he would run as a Republican? He voted for President Obama which would most likely make him a Democratic politician if he ran.
To: STARWISE
Will Obama replace him with a War Czar?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the truth to come out of any of those gutless wonders. You’ll be real purple if you do.
