Exactly. So why help Obama dump the current command in Afghanistan?
Obama is a childish buffoon, and why everyone continues to cover up that reality is beyond me.
Yes, and then he back-peddled like a pro.
He must have gotten Republican consultation to know just how to do it right...
As for the Republicans, you’re exactly right. What more DID I expect?
Here’s the topic of Obama’s incompetence front and center, and who do they choose to back? Why Obama of course. Nothing to fear from this administration, and everything to fear from a General telling it like it is.
Normally, I don’t buy into Generals doing this. In this instance, every General should be doing it. This guy is a rogue enemy of the state. It’s time to say it in public.
Wimps in the White House... the Rolling Stone about a Lefty’s Lefty? Ouch...
Does the article back that lead-in?
I think it's either temporary or there's a quid pro quo involved. Mullen's second term as Chairman of the Joint Chief's ends in 2011. Petraeus may have been told that the job is his if he can first clean up Afghanistan.
I'd be willing to bet that McChrystal went straight from the White House to the Pentagon where his retirement papers were waiting.
Because McChrystal took credit for the decision. Since literally everything comes into the country by air, he viewed the cargo space used for Pizza Hut and Burger King to be a waste and a misuse of scarce resources. Can’t say I disagree with him.
Thank you.
But then, that’s why I said I bet the arrogant pos didn’t even read it. His propaganda minister (Gibbs) showed it to him and that was all he needed to see to throw a fit
I mean, I remember hearing that Burger King was closed down but I did not know or perhaps forgot that the order came from General McChrystal. To be honest, neither can I
You’re welcome. I hope it helps
He’s a third grade child. He reacted like a third grade child. Someone challenged his supremacy, and he had to get even.
Most adults would have sent a terse note to him saying knock it off. Obama had to fire him. Insecurity is his hallmark.
Exactly
Is this viewed as a “promotion” for Petraeus or simply a lateral move?
