President Barack Obama has to relieve Gen. McChrystal of his command. I don’t really see how this ends any other way. I guess McChrystal could tender his resignation, but even that would be a slap in the face to the Office of the President. If McChrystal did not have faith in his civilian leadership, he should have resigned. Civilian control of the military is one of the pillars of this Republic. To disrespect the commander-in-chief in such a blatant manner is an affront to the Office of the President and borders on insubordination.

Can anyone tell me what McCrystal is supposed to have said that has the press citing separation of powers and the chain of command? Have you ever noticed that the same press have never raised this concern when the Kenyan was taking auto companies and giving them to his financial supporters? Really, what did McCrystal say that is out of bounds?
We disrespected Clinton all the time.
And he deserved it.
Obama deserves it and more.
That a General Officer disrespected “The One” says volumes.
And warms my heart.
A leader who does not engender feelings of respect from the troops is no leader but a mockery of the trust granted to the office he holds, however illegitimately.
Where is the BC? Why should a general bow to an usurper?

“A scathing memo by Eikenberry describing Karzai as an unreliable partner was leaked to the press last fall.”
And we had trolls here pushing for a removal of Karzai and the installation of the guy that IRAN approved of.
“To disrespect the commander-in-chief in such a blatant manner is an affront to the Office of the President and borders on insubordination.”....
And for the so called “commander-in-chief” to disrespect the American people in such a blatant manner is treason!!!
No. That is a lie. Obama, the Democrats and people behind the ‘administration’ test military-civilian relations and connections.
A Magnificent Opus by the General.
Bravo, Sir!
He must’ve had it with the nincompoops and their backstabbing shenanigans.
What will it be? Relieved of command? Resigned?
Will Obama keep him on..........
As far as the General is concerned, the President is no usurper.
That was quite a coordinated slandering and besmirching of Karzai, though he must’ve known it when weekly videocons with the WH were stopped under Obie.
Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t fill his roll as Commander in Chief. Read my tagline.
The President's chief of staff is leaving.
His budget chief is leaving.
His top general is basically daring the President to fire him.
His poll numbers have fallen off a cliff.
His Senate majority leader currently stands to lose his job.
A federal judge just issued an injunction against his directive in the Gulf of Mexico.
It's taken a year and a half, but it now looks like all the wheels are coming off.
Not the brightest writer we have ever seen. If the president was ever a citizen of another country, he is not the legitimate holder of office and the oath is first to the constitution then to the chain of command.
Left out relevent factors.
Bingo.
So Widawake has now embraced and is prepared to defend the assertion that General McChrystal's vote detirmines whether Obama is a usurper or not all by itself, and the definition of "Natural born citizen" in use at the constitutional convention has nothing to do with it?
Sad.
Yeah, and Obie trying to be a tough guy with the recount talk in Afghanistan.
Probably because the votes that were paid for weren’t enough.
Allow me to repost, verbatim, what I posted above:
