General McChrystal

[Bluemoon06]

I read the interview.  This is BS.  I don't know how much time this reported spend with him but it appears that he spent a few days with him and reported everything he saw.  If you spend many hours with anybody you would get a lot of bad stuff being said.  I get an e-mail from my boss at any given time and am likely to say something that I would not want my mother to hear.  That doesn't mean I am not on his team and would not go all out for him.

This stuff is just everyday goings on of a man trying to run war that has no patience for pomp and circumstance.

well said Bluemoon....

I really think Michelle Obama needs to start looking for private schools for the kids in....Chicago!

Let's see:

a) numerous State Attorney Generals fighting new health care legislation
b) Arizona governor and recent law passed there....
c) Louisiana judge overturning drilling ban....
d) A war zone General speaking his mind on Biden...

  Does the piss poor "mis-spoke" excuse not apply to those who actually love and are fighting for this
 country?Or does it only apply to unqualified,career politicians.I think most of america knows who's
 telling the truth and he's definitly not in the WHite House.


Allagash,
I hope you are so right,,,,then the recovery can begin!!

I am happy to see that the Generals know that Osama is an Obamination!  It makes me believe that they will only go so far along with The Chosen One's socialist takeover of the USA.

What did you expect?  It's freakin' Rolling Stone - just a bunch of wacked out stoners.

Frankly, sight-unseen, I'd side with the military guy before ANY politican...everytime

He is a regular on Bill Maher's show. That is all you need to know to read the article within that context.

To be fair, I do not agree with the General and he should be fired for insubordination in my opinion.

[kdhastedt]

McChrystal got fired...Petraeus is in and will have Iraq and Afghanistan...

This is BS.  The Rolling Stone guy was with him for a MONTH.  I dare any of us to have a reporter with us for a month and not say something bad about our boss.

I was listening to NPR and they said it was about penises not policy.

[kdhastedt]

BLUF:  He made Obama look bad.  You can't do that regardless of your talents.

He'll retire with full pension (over $160K per year) and get a job with a defense contractor as at least a VP.

Bluemoon,

 You're right in my opinion once again sir.And as I understand it,,it was his aides that said or gave alot of this hearsay/bar talk(which I'm sure a reputable magazine like this has never done before )


 Actually if Obama was'nt so full of himself and have SOros on the brain,,he could've come out great on this.He should've just said "I'm more focused on the job at hand and getting our soldiers back home rather than barber shop talk,,,I think McChrystal is still the best man for this job."

 Could you imagine that??But that would really piss off the lefty loons(you know the ones who read that highly rated news source -Rolling Stone ).


 But maybe McChristal showed up and said I stand by what I said and yes sir you just suck.WHo really knows,,,,,maybe he'll write a book and tell us.Either way I respect him a load better and would beleive his side waaaaaay before Soros/I mean Obama.LOL!!

Great way to run a war:

A commander in chief who knows nothing about international politics, nothing about the military, and who must have a yes man running the show for him.

On the other hand, it is seriously bad judgement to give an interview to Rolling Stone. You've got to wonder what was he thinking?

[robdedgar]

He is still trying to appeal to the younger voters.

Any normal person that gets caught talking smack about your boss could easily lose their job. Why is this guy so much different?
