How about some impeachment talk?
Americans - and someone’s relatives - are dying for what out there?
IMPEACH!

A better headline might be, not that 0zero is furious, but that he is “butt-hurt”.

Pure arrogance on the part of Obama — I couldn’t believe that picture when I found it yesterday.

He went public because he needs OUR help to support the troops.!
Obama has had the report for months and done nothing. McChrystal is protecting our soldiers and needs support!
Call the white house and contact your Representatives and tell them SEND MORE TROOPS!
White House 1-202-456-1414
Contact your Representatives at congress.org , simply put in your zip code and it will list your Representatives!
or simply google their name, for contact info.

... they are busy selling out america.
And making friends with the dictators and tyrants. You have to remember, he is taking us into post America. He is taking us to the Obamanana Republic.
To: peggybac
You just have to remember the Democrats think of Vietnam as a victory. Just not for us. Which is why they are going down this road of Vietnamization for Afghanistan.

Just a civilian beancounter here but it is fascinating to talk to a real soldier about the dynamics of asymmetrical warfare. A lot of the old guard don't understand it and don't like it. Perhaps Gen Jones is of the old school. For goodness sake we all know Obie isn't a risk taker.

President Obama is finding out that when told to do unintelligent things, unlike Chicago-machine politicians, our military leaders will call him on it. This is very likely the first time Obama has had a personal encounter with integrity.

These pictures speak a 1,000 words and they were released by the WH. He couldn’t even pretend for a WH photo-op. This may be why Zinni and others are now going after Obama — they got snowed in the election by Obama pretending Afghanistan was a ‘good’ war and they needed more troops — all rhetoric and no substance..

I think you’re right. Obozo has to be thinking about 2010. McChrystal can’t be “handled.”

Why is it we have to read the NYT and WP as carefully and suspiciously as an old Soviet citizen read his copy of _Pravda_ or _Izvestia_?
To: mort56
He can question ZObama in official correspondence anytime he wants. And he should question Obama. But it, IMO, does not matter who the POTUS is, a field or theater commander does not publicly question the orders he has been given. He either does his best to carry them out, or resigns and continues the fight in public as a private citizen. McChrystal, in London, appears to have gone over the line.

The general's comment that "we must show resolve..." must really have grated on Obama who has anything but resolution on what to do in Afghanistan. Obama's foreign policy has been nothing short of chaotic, based on naive assumptions and poorly thought out.

Someone should inform Obama that Afghanistan is a UN mission...

It reminds me of “You lie.” Some people can’t handle the truth.
