Was McChrystal involved in the Jessica Lynch scam in addition to the Tillman scam?

Or did someone else make all that stuff up? She was captured while firing her weapon! She was mistreated and was rescued from the horror...

Honestly...or should I say...dishonestly...

Or is it just too many John Wayne movies???

I don't think he was involved with Jessica. He was in Afghanistan; Jessica was in Iraq.

This is interesting....it is not quite true that McChrystal was found not to be responsible for the coverup etc. surrounding the death of Tillman.

It seems those who were called before Congress all had very bad memories. (It happens...)

Consequently, Congress could not get enough information to make a determination.

As for the Pentagon investigating itself - well...My Lai anyone?

And that is what is called...spin...

Gen. McChrystal had no place making a public speech as he did questioning the CinC's decisions.

It isn't unusual, however. Gen Shinseki, Gen. Wes Clark and others have done the same. What's unusual about Gen. McChrystal's comments are that they recieved the amount of press that they have.
