i believe Gen McChrystal resigned and must be sick and tired of writers saying he was fired.
I think it was a brilliant plan by Gen McC. What the Community Organizer will never figure out is that 4-star generals and admirals are exceptionally good at sticking a finger up into the political winds. It’s a lose-lose for 0.
It was reported that the arrogant pos told him to resign
If Oboner handles this situation like he has (or hasn’t) the Gulf Oil spill, he will look like the azzclown that he is to us conservatives. Petraeus will shake things up in Afghanistan and create a safe environment but Oboner with the help of the presstitutes will get credit for vision and clarity in the matter.
"Consider the box Obama just put himself in." <<<<
I frequently wonder if among BHO's closest advisers are those who are intentionally sabotaging him, or if they are just naturally stupid.
McChrystal is a LIBERAL.....good riddance.
How do you know that?
He voted for BHO
Petraeus = Ike Part Deux
How do you know that?
“How do you know that?”
(Apparently, it has been known for some time. Among other sites, see:)

This is Marc Ambinder in The Atlantic. “Even more about McChrystal: now it can be told. The story about him voting for Obama is not contrived. He is a political liberal. He is a social liberal,” and he is a wacko environmentalist liberal. “He banned Fox News from the television sets in his headquarters.” He has banned fast food, Burger King and all that from his headquarters and from people in his command.
According to Bernie Goldberg, it is has been ‘said’ he voted for Zero via Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic. Yet no-one has been able to confirm. http://wonkette.com/404286/are-you-sexy-enough-for-marc-ambinders-obama-club/
“Should Petreus resign his command under such circumstances, he would become a Douglas MacArthur-like hero to the GOP, and could wind up as No. 2 on the ticket. And that could send Barack Obama home to Chicago.”
Petreus is sufficiently well known to Americans and respected by the troops that “O” cannot successfully besmirch HIS character or fault his abilities. If “O” tries the usual and shabby Liberal tactic of smearing opponents for his OWN personal aggrandizement, I think it will come back to haunt him....quick!
There really isn’t a bus big enough for “O” to throw the general under and the bus whose undercarriage “O” has populated to-date, is full up!!
I think the author is right! “O” just painted himself into a corner. It had to happen…. and will continue to happen on ‘other’ issues and throughout this administration.
However, THIS issue is fully VISIBLE and instantaneously ACCESSIBLE to all Americans. There are no auditors, fed agents, commissions or other officials to run interference for “O” on this decision and its consequences. More than any other Presidential action, military reverses (though I sincerely hope it doesn’t come to that) …. will be immediately and unarguably apparent to American voters!!!! No fudging on THAT kind of event!
The old phrase, ‘wag the dog’ comes to mind!
He voted for Obama, and all the lefties have said he is an avowed liberal.
Ambinder thinks conservatives have gone mad. “The obsession with ACORN, Climategate, death panels, the militarization of rhetoric, Saul Alinsky, Chicago-style politics, that TAXPAYERS will fund the bailout of banks — these aren’t meaningful or interesting or even relevant things to focus on. (The banks will fund their own bailouts.)”

Ambinder lives is a fantasy world where left-wing commentators (including Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow) are serious policy wonks, while all conservative commentators are “entertainers shouting slogans;” where hyperbole is the exclusive refuge of the right-wing; where the vile language and defamation hurled at George Bush for eight years never existed; where the equally vile attempts by Democratic leaders to equate health care protesters to terrorists never happened.
Every day Democratic politicians and left-wing bloggers hurl epithets like “teabagger” and “racist” and “extremist” at political opponents, yet none of that exists in Ambinder’s precious little world.
Ambinder cannot seem to understand that being mad is not the same thing as madness. The true madness is the direction in which the Obama administration is taking this country.
The deceptive and destructive policies of this administration have been picked apart by people who do not live in Ambinder’s world, and do not watch CBS News.
And if Ambinder were honest with himself, he would admit that the loss of control over the news cycle and the debate is what bothers him most. Hence the gratuitous statements in Ambinder’s post about Fox News and the “conservative echo-chamber.”
The loss of relevance must be a frustrating thing. It can drive some people mad. http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2010/04/has-marc-ambinder-gone-mad.html
I agree, he quit before BO could fired him!
Michael Calderone on staff at Politico
Why would conservative Freepers believe anything coming from left leaning websites. As shown above Ambinder repeated Calderone's statement from Politico.
Even Rush spewed this third hand tripe.
