Yes, the military is owned by the government, but that doesn't mean that they have to like the way politicions arbitrailly throw their lives away just to look good or to make sure some big business is making money or will make more money.
That is what war is all about, who controls the money.
Obama and all his cronys are just like all the rest, they are trying to control as much money as they can. Just like the new presidential proclomation to spend up to $20.3 Million to bring as many Palistinians as possible from Gaza to the United States, feed and house them . Yep, look it up on the Federal Register. HB 1388.

I suppose some things are true this fraud in chief just can't take criticism even if it was ever constructive. One thing is sure McChrystal may be fired but every conservative organization and tea party everywhere just got his resume for a job to criticise Obama in public even more for his failed policies. November is comming and eventually everyone gets fired!

"They" didn't run the ads. The Senators didn't "gang up" on Pertraeus any more than (R) Senators today "gang up" on those they seek to question or disagree with -- grandstanding by Senators knows no party affiliation.


Please get some accurate information before you make a bigger fool of yourself.

I can only say that this war must end decisively my solution to this is simple, separate the goats from the sheep.
Kill the goats, save the sheep.

If America can pull off a victory in Afghanistan, it would show the world that we are not the failures our foolish former administration made us out to be.
We were on the cusp of victory when Bush pulled the troops to go fight his pet project of aggression in Iraq.

This President deserves respect above all from his commanders on the field.
When Truman relieved MacArther, MacArther was wrong to ignore the President...MacArther was right about his objectives. Like restraining a pit-bull, one must always control the leash.
The General made a mistake in judgment and needed to come home.
The enemy may or may not take this as a sort of victory...to them I say, give up the fight to make others follow your twisted vision of life or prepare to die for your foolish beliefs.

McCrystal resigned, he knew what would happen, I think he wanted out of Obama's wander through the desert with no direction. Obama shows what a thin skinned weasel he is everytime he throws someone else under the bus.I just wish he would care about anything else in this world, his image and ego are important enough to waste this time on-a damn magazine article, how lame.

The President didn't throw this Commander under the bus. Evidently you have never been in uniform and don't understand that as a Senior Military advisor you can't go off making comments about your Commander-In-Chief or cabinet at any time. The military is not a democratic orgainzation it is a socialist organization. The government pays you, gives you room and board, you get free dental and medical and clothes. General Colin Powell and General Swarzkoff maybe didn't agree with President Bush's handling of the 1991 war, but negative comments, especially in their position will not be tolerated. Even Colin Powell as Secretary of State didn't make comments about that idiot Bush even after he set him up. So this General knew the rules of the game and he broke them. It was time for him to go. YOU CAN'T MAKE OFF THE WALL COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR BOSS TO THESE RAG-ASS MAGAZINES OR ANYPLACE WHILE YOU WEAR THE UNIFORM OF A GENERAL/SOLDIER REPRESENTING THE UNITED STATES.

Firing McChrystal was the right thing to do for the president. A commanding general in a sensitive war zone cannot make such degrading comments about his Commander in Chief and his policies so casually. It was unprofessional so say the least; it derates his own effectiveness in a hostile zone, and casts serious doubts on the credibility of his own superior, the American president, on a world wide scale; that is contrary to American interest. Obama did the right thing.

Mc Chrystal assured his "surge" was the answer-when he found he was wrong,he has only gotten HIMSELF out....[not unusual with a general who fails[Napoleon ,Mc Arther...]

Exactly. After all, what did McChrystal have going on that the USSR didn't?

i hope your communist leader is cracking up.

he is a thin-skinned inexperienced privileged boy.

obama plays endless rounds of golf & has lavish parties, all-the-while laughing at all the velma's & noloyalties of his realm, that like lenin he refers to as his "useful idiots".

you poor fools.

may you come-to or wake-up or by using an extreme metaphor receive a 2x4 across the side of your head - whatever it takes to stop your lunacy-like fantacy of a socialist-obama utopia.

i used to live in a welfare state of mind body & spirit & it nearly killed me.

i only woke up because my buddhist/hindu teacher is more persistent than my fear of waking-up & taking responsiblity for all aspects of my own trip.

No Buddhist or Hindu teacher would claim a person with such burning anger and blatant accusation as you...

Please get help.

Here is a point of reference: In the USA we elect presidents. None will serve longer than eight years. Every wise teacher will tell you that this is not a significant period of time in our human existence.


Being a spiritual fraud is far worse than being a political communist... get real.

you poor fools.

my wish is that you do not receieve the horrors you wish upon yourselves.

but then again...maybe those horrors would effectively be that metaphoric 2x4 i spoke of earlier.

it is ultimately your own pick, so i wish you all useful picks in deciding your own trip!

You can get fired for making fun of Biden? Biden is so stupid they choose him because any assassin would think " well, do I really think Joe would be better?" "No way better keep Obama." Perfect insurance for Obama.

McChrystal was right. The Ambasador is a arrogant, elite a$$ hole and Joe Biden doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. Obama seems pretty smart to me but just like George Bush he has surrounded himself with idiots and it is hard to work with stupid no matter what you are doing or how smart you are.

You can get fire (and court martialed for being an insubordinate dirt bag like McChrystal; that's for sure.

Please get some more information on this. You are making a point about something that is irrelevant.

This is not personal, it is strictly business.
