It is nearly impossible for a military man to work for an
America-hater like Obama. I'm surprised a lot more officers don't quit
in disgust. I suppose its devotion to duty and to their men, but at a
certain point you have to consider that you're only propping up an
imbecile.
I respect Gen McChrystal. He is a real American hero. He holds the
Combat Infantryman's Badge just like my dad. That means he earned his
combat pay. That means he risked his life for our freedom. However,
being an unselfish hero does not mean the man is four star general
material.
It was a mistake to promote McChrystal to GEN from LTG. He is a
covert ops guy. He is a commander of ranger units, special forces
units and airborne. That's what he does. He is years away from
being the politician/PR/big picture guy a four star general needs to
be. Gates and Obama made the same mistake that Lincoln and Truman
made.
The difference is that Lincoln made that mistake -- appointing the
wrong general -- eight times before he selected U.S. Grant.
And like Lincoln, and Truman, Obama will admit the mistake, make the
correction and move on.

Most likely, the mistake was Obama, not McChrystal.
Looks like the general decided that he didn't want the job, if Obama wasn't
on board.

McClellan said the same about Lincoln and even ran against him in
1864.
MacArthur said the same about Truman. Truman is now regarded as one
of our greatest presidents while MacArthur is known as the out of
control general that stole gold out of the Philippine treasury, took
protection money from Philippine President Quezon and wanted to nuke
China.
The mission required a general with brains, not balls.
No, he put his own balls in a vice.
He also forgot that when it is twenty below, soldiers can walk across
the Yalu River.
The mission - Bush's mission of "nation building" in Afghanistan - is
impossible. You cannot kill them until the survivors love you. That's
how any land-war in Asia goes. They have no resources for us to grab,
no infrastructure for us to control, and no central gov't for us to
rule through. They only have peasant soldiers quite prepared to force
us to continue killing them until every last one is dead.
You cannot fight a land war in Asia. You cannot fight a war to change
a regime, or "introduce democracy". And you certainly cannot fight a
war to turn a populace away from vicious thugs like the Taliban. If
that's the kind of leaders those people would pick over us, then no
amount of liberal "change", or homilies about equal rights or justice
will appeal to them.
Says the armchair general.
Then why is nobama doing the same thing?
To get elected.
He can't run against 40 years of fear mongering and say, "oh, let's
just make peace with all our Official Enemies", after idiots like you
believed every dumb news story about them. Our TV news tends to under
report our terror attacks against them - including bullshit like
giving all their dictators free guns.
He liberated 25 million and set in motion events where women finally
could vote.
If they're ungrateful, so be it.
> That's
> how any land-war in Asia goes. They have no resources for us to grab,
Did you miss the report on the vast mineral resources discovered there?
So you make Karzai out to be a dictator?
Wasn;t he ELECTED?
We gotta get rid of these warrior generals who are trying to kill the
enemy, otherwise Hamas, Hezbollah, and Cair won't like Obama anymore.
Heh.
No, insubordination has no place in a military chain
of command. We have plenty of people who can kill
the enemy.

But Obama wants them to fight under his pro-enemy rules of engagement
...
Speaking of the chain of command. Why didn't Obama use it. Why did he
bring the general to the white house and publicly humiliate him?
Because he's the Commander in Chief.
Maybe the rabble of right-wing attack dogs waiting to shreik
and wail that he had "passed the buck" if he did? McChrystal
humiliated himself well enough when got drunk at an interview
with a hippie assrag.
Too bad for nobama a majority of them agree with McChrystal
DIdn't answer the question. Thanks for trying.
McChrystal only vocalized what the vast majority of American Soldiers
are thinking.
Not planning on winning any wars with a military like that, I take it?
That the war is unwinnable? Fuck yeah! McC is more librul than Obama
on THAT one!!!

We won in Iraq, and are winning in Afghanistan, in spite of the
"leadership" nobama has shown.
What exactly did America win in Iraq?
And who on earth thinks the US is winning in Afghanistan?
Liberated millions of Iraqis, and gained a potential ally in the
Middle East. You really should learn something about world affairs
before you post.

Anyone with a brain, which clearly leaves you out.

Liberated them from what, exactly? Yes, Saddam was a thug and his
sons were pigs, but the typical Iraqi enjoyed considerably more
personal freedom than he does today, and not only that, but had first
world electric, sewage, and infrastructure in the major cities.

In other words, all you have is empty bluster.
Wow, that relieves him of any need to be humane.

Oh yeah, there's about 7 million of them "liberated" to Syria.
Luv that "fire the army, but let them keep their weapons" system to
win the peace, huh?
Gee, it's almost like Cheney WANTED a civil war!
Why is it you overstate every numeric claim you make here, liar?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8551723.stm
The United Nations refugee agency estimates around 2 million Iraqis live
abroad, the bulk leaving after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The largest number of Iraqi expats live in neighbouring Jordan and Syria.
Friday is also the last day of campaigning in Iraq, amid pre-election
violence and heavy security.
The Iraqi election commission says there are polling stations in nearly
60 cities worldwide and voting is staggered over three days.
Expat votes cast in Jordan and Syria could play a deciding role in a
tight election race, counting for around 10 seats in the 325-member
parliament, which will form the next government.
Estimates on how many Iraqis live in Syria vary - figures range from
300,000 to 1.2 million.

Straw man.
Cheney isn't here now.
But your repeated LIES are.
The ONLY people that had any of the things you claim were Saddams
supporters. Perhaps you should get a fucking clue.

You misspelled reality.

That was about 75% of the country, which compares well with America.
Did you know Iraq had sizeable Jewish and Christian populations prior
to the American invasion?
You actually have not heard that yet? That we handed Syria a refugee
crisis, to "save" 7 million survivors from a dictator only
approximately as bad as, say, the Saudis?
You are a LIAR!
You were already shown that the actual number of Iraqis in Syria does
NOT exceed 1.2 million, why do you persist in LYING????
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6766067.stm
Some 1.5m Iraqis are now estimated to be living as refugees in other
countries, mostly neighbouring Syria and Jordan.
Understand, every time you do this you will be exposed as a liar.
Minor correction.
The Chinese built an underwater pontoon bridge to avoid ariel
detection.
Soldiers walked across the Yalu River naked at freezing temperatue in
the
middle of the night.
If you read closely, I avoided saying the 7m survivors were in Syria.
Duh.
Do you have a cite for that? It's an extraordinary version, and I'd like
to check it out.
