President Obama's National Security Adviser James L. Jones suggested Sunday that the public campaign being conducted by the U.S. commander in Afghanistan on behalf of his war strategy is complicating the internal White House review now underway, saying that "it is better for military advice to come up through the chain of command

Michelle will be on the warpath after the Europeans told her the race card is void.

Looks like Roid Rage on her face when she is told “NO”.

3 more years of this crap ..... Dear God, help !!!

National Security Adviser Chides McChrystal

That's rich...professional POLITICAL HACK chides professional soldiers (Generals, no less) about war. The Generals with two lifetimes of war/combat experience have to take lip form some nitwit with a room temperature IQ on the subject. Disgraceful!!! Pitiful!!!

” The 25 minutes is bogus, IMO.”

Yup. The wives were also at the meeting and were introduced for the first time, so there had to be the chit chat period.
Maybe Michelle regaled the McChrystals with more stories of how she sat on Daddy’s lap watching the Olympics as a 20 yr old.
Perhaps she even demonstrated “ her mean right hook.”

You people in The White House are killing our Soldiers!!!!!

And we know this because the Lame Stream Media is crowding the tarmac and falling all over themselves at Dover AFB to film the return of the fallen soldiers to US soil.

I used to think Hillary was the absolute worst first lady of all time. Now I see I was wrong.

This is like Viet Nam all over again! This is damn scarey for our troops. NO ONE should be signing up for the service right now. Obama and his minions are going to slaughter soldiers like the Left did in Viet Nam.

“No No No No! Not God Bless America; God Damn America...” Rev. Wright, Obama’s minister for twenty years.

Well, he has to find something to focus on. I mean, what with Michelle’s broadening derriere, her wardrobe and the embarrassing ACORN scandal, Zero is probably finding himself ‘in need’ of something to distract him from the reality.

Honestly, with a Traitor In Chief commanding our troops, I say bring them ALL home rather than let them be sacrificed to Zero’s Muslim buds. We’re gonna lose the damn war anyway. That much is CERTAIN. Zero and America’s other enemies will see to it.

Three more years? I’m seriously wondering if we can survive until 2010 elections. It’s not looking good.

"James Jones is an enemy of America, and nothing but a chicken."

Name one person in Zero's administration that is NOT. It's a prerequisite for the job.

"IF you are a commie/terrorist like zero one of your missions would be to destroy the military in plain sight."

Knowing this, what IF at least half of the military protested following orders from the CIC until it's proven that he is eligible to BE the CIC? Would Zero order the military to rescind ALL of their orders?

It might just come to that.

Scapegoat found!

When Obama loses (perhaps purposefully) in Afghanistan, we know who will be blamed.

Obama should fire Stanley “MacArthur” McChrystal but he doesn’t have the guts. There’s a pattern emerging here, the economy still sucks, Obama loses the Olympics, Obamacare is in the toilet and Afghanistan is not going well due to a wimp who doesn’t know how to conduct a war (and Afghanistan is the place the liberals said we should be, finding Osama and the others). He needs to pull us out of both Afghanistan and Iraq and admit defeat because sooner or later that’s what’s going to happen anyway and better now than before all that additional loss of American life for nothing.

Great question,my guess is until recognized leaders like Petraeus give those type of orders it probably won't happen. No one knows however what happens if you push the joint chiefs too far.

it would take 10 General Jones to come close to the brilliance and tactical abilities of one Gen.McChrystal, IMO

Then again, we’ve never had a closet-Muslim traitor as President. Pushing that envelope might become a necessity in this ‘new’ reality.
