He voted for Obama and was stupid enough to speak freely in front of Rolling Stone reporter. Just on the basis of those 2 things I wouldn’t vote for him for President. In addition, It doesn’t seem like he is doing that great a job in Afghanistan. The troops are unhappy with his rules of engagement and are blaming them for loss of lives. You can keep him for President in 2012. Right now I’m liking Bobby Jindal or Chris Christie.
Unfortunately, due to the educational systems of America, unless a child had/has excellent teaching from his parents he will be liberal. History is ridiculed and cast aside, government is taught from the liberal point of view. Mostly due to the union's points of view.
The General is a patriot and I believe a follower the Constitution. He had no choice about the rules of engagement; as they have been ordered from the offices above him in rank and mostly the President and his lawyers: so he had no choice but to do or resign. No one is perfect. He has handled himself well, considering he requested 30,000 more troops and he had to wait 4 or 5 months to get part of that number and not enough for winning the offensive battle there.
Very, very, frustrating.
Show me some one else that has such a career as he has had. Show me someone else that has been tested in real struggles. Show me someone that want America to survive and thrive and not by onerous government controlling everything.
God help us in our day, In Jesus name, amen.
