When Presidential ego outweighs victory, we’re in trouble.

I haven’t read the interview ... but McChrystal was dumb to go after the administration, and the administration was dumb to let him resign for it.

Obama is a thin-skinned pussy who should be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his muslim buddies.

It is really a shame but he knows the UCMJ and should not have broken the law. Thank God he is not going to Courts Martial....he certainly could have.

If McCrystal had blamed Bush for the article, he would still have a job.

This is a classic example of Washington DC making a mountain out of a mole hill. No insubordination was committed. This is all about ego.

Isn’t it a shame that an illegal alien, muslim, muslim sympathizer, and impostor can even be in the same room as someone with the credential as McChrystal . . . and to have that punk “relieve” him of command is such an insult to a loyal American.

When will this madness end.

Don’t think that idea wasn’t entertained at some point.

I feel very bad for our troops. They make so many brave and selfless sacrifices - including giving our lives - and America repays them by voting in Obama the clown. To the extent I can, I deeply apologize to our armed forces for this. although I did not vote for Obama, nd tried to warn many others not to.

...let’s see, a Muslin fires a general who complained about the WH complacency on the WOT. AN effective General who had his troops backing.....those same troops who now have to protect themselves under more restrictive ROE. Did we really expect any sort of different result?. Did Odumbo get his tee time?

George Bush is no longer POTUS and former POTUSs are not mentioned in Article 88 UCMJ. The President and Vice President specifically are mentioned.

Pres’ent DUh-bama is the one who should be “RELIEVED of command”. His own party said worse of him during the campaign...he asked one of them to be his running mate and filled cabinet posts with the rest. They were all far more critical than any comments attributed to the general.

Is it just me, but does Petraus become the leading candidate for the Republican nomination in 2012 should he succeed in Afghanistan? Just sayin.

McChrystal should ask Hussein to see his birth certificate before clearing out his desk.

Did’t Obama hand pick him after he was elected or am I thinking of someone else?

The troops just got a large boost of morale if Petraeus is to be appointed.

Look for ROE's to be altered before too long.
