He said he voted for him in the last election and reportedly banned Fox News in his offices.

He voted for Obama, banned FOX News ihis offices (if true) and allowed some dip sh*t Rolling Stone reporter to embed with his command unit ... McChrystal got his just reward.

Hopefully he will look upon this as an opportunity to tell us exactly what he thinks of The One, but I’m sure he won’t, being a good socialist useful idiot.

He voted for the Communist, and thus must be one himself.

I suppose if fellow Reds want to buy it, it will sell well.

I’ve heard a lot of, well, “rumblings” from friends who have had to work with this guy and virtually none of them are flattering.

We’ll see what happens, but this guy has a bit of a mountain to climb in terms of winning over those who actually worked with him in Asscrackastan.

There us a good chance that McChrystal is a newly converted conservative. I agree it remains to be seen!

Any officer who voted for the s**di/indo**ian agent is a Benedict Arnold in my book. They would be incredibly stupid or collaborators.

Benedict Arnold had actually been a hero and regretted what he did the rest of his life. Today’s stinking top top brass just wants their pension and cheap booze at the PX.

I see the Pentagon’s fingerprints all over the Rolling Stone article ......Stan (Obama’s man) and his RULES OF ENGAGEMENT had to go !!!!!

OBAMA GOT PLAYED BY THE PENTAGON !!

The Pentagon offered up Patraeus to get Obama out of a jam ...does anyone think the “the Incompetent One” thought up Patraeus all by himself ?? With the appointment of Patraeus as a replacement, the Pentagon GOT ...War Funding, Obama’s commitment for the War effort, more troops, the 2011 deadline extended and the Rules of Engagement OFF the backs of the ground troops !!!

Obama’s speech was written by the Pentagon ....it had too many praises for Stan to come off of Obama’s teleprompter !!! Obama came off as a “strong” & “decisive” leader on Stan’s firing & the Patraeus appointment ....DOES ANYONE THINK AFTER 16 MOS ....all of a sudden Obama got lucky ????

Nope The PENTAGON PLAYED OBAMA BIG TIME !!!!

Stan ....was just a casualty of war !!

Can’t wait for his memoirs to come out.

He should title it: “Leaderless in Afghanistan”

Yes, but how many others can McChrytal turn in the high command?

That's right . An obama drone who whole heartedly supported the pussification of our good men and women . Hated fox but loved the military hating Cnn . He retires as a 4 star with all the bennies . It will take Bushes General months to clean up the mess he left .

Personally, I think he’s a good general who might have been playing both ends against the middle.

The memoirs will tell.

I guarantee you that no one lets guests promote books like FoxNews. He’ll cozy up to Fox News immediately. Probably sign on as one of their experts.
