Gen. Stanley McChrystal

He's keeping it real (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/119236), should be interesting to see whether Obama keeps it real too and fire the general and his entire staff. I do understand McChrystal's frustration though, he has been given a task can't possibly complete.

If poor judgement is grounds for dismissal, call in Donald Trump.

He should have resigned before he bad mouthed the Administration. Everyone knows the war is lost though.

Yeah, I thought he was keeping it real, until I read this:
"He prefers Bud Light Lime (his favorite beer)..."

Badass Generals should drink Whiskey.

Wow. What is the purpose of the Afghan war again? Oh, find bin Laden. Only one problem, he does not exist as a human being, he is an idea, a cultural phenomenom. Western civilization has too much hubris to understand this.

Haha for sure. I lol'd.

yessir!

and even bigger badderasser Generals should drink Whisky! (well, not the canadian kind)

I read several articles about this whole thing this morning. Honestly, it's alarming. Afghanistan is the now the longest war in our nation's history. To have a general of McChrystal's caliber calling out the administration... Sheesh.

A few of the articles I read spoke of what an excellent general he is, and how he's always been very respectful of others, particularly his superiors. I don't really know much about the man, but if that's true, that makes this whole thing even more troubling. Very unfortunate.

Afghanistan would've been over had Bush not taken vacation during it :silly:

Honestly though it's hard to give either admin much credit on the situation. When someone inherits the "cleanup effort" it's hard to blame them more though. What makes me wonder is why neither admin really committed what they said it would take. Maybe they knew something that's just not coming to light for us common folk.

How do you have a war on terrorism and an open border? The answer is (drum roll please) it's a big lie.

I agree
