Did McChrystal plan the whole thing?

The war in Afghanistan started with the first major attack on US soil since the war of 1812 (the Japanese chucked a few shells into California in WWII). But the word came out last week that we were pulling out of Afghanistan. And when the Taliban and Al Quida march into Kabul, and a giant Mosque goes up over ground zero there will be no way to deny that we have lost the war. McChrystal had to find a way to quit before he had to be the man to turn off the lights. So he picks a fight with OBozo and get himself fired. Now some other poor slob has to go down in the record books as the general who lost the war in Afghanistan.

Well there you go. No support from Obama to win this war. It was past time for McChrystal to lay this on the incompetent Obama.

I'm beginning to think that's a possibility. For some reason, even though I didn't particularly like McChrystal because of those inane ROE, I feel particularly disturbed by the fact that he is leaving.

He probably was ethical and certainly, unlike his boss, did not hate the US. And now we're at the mercy of the alien in the WH.
