Of course, you cannot bag on the boss.

But,
When the the boss wears many hats, especially an arsehat?

Go for it.

There are wimps in the white house.

I even blame the groundskeepers.

Morons.

You cannot show the level of disrespect Gen. McChrystal did for the CinC and remain an effective commander.

Pres. Truman fired dugout doug, same deal, different war.

He had to go.

Understood.

How droll! The regressives are now blaming the oil disaster on not enough government!!!! I love it!

And the White House groundkeepers are morons????

A read of the interview in Rolling Stone is incredible. So many reasons this guy must go. Overwhelming arrogance, insulting our allies, a totally overblown sense of his own importance and intelligence, disrespect for his position and the system that employs him and....how stupid could he get....Rolling Stone - what Huffington Post wouldn't talk to him???

Did he self-destroy? Is he really that convinced of his own cleverness? The question of why he did the interview...why he chose Rolling Stone...why he thought he could get away with such disrespect and disregard for the responsibilities of his position are far more interesting questions.

There is no such thing as coincidence. Gen. McChrystal, I think, did this on purpose. He is 'falling on his sword' so to speak. It can't be an accident that he said these thing to Rolling Stone.

I read about super tight RoE over there now. I know from first hand experience what happens when stupid strict RoE is in effect. Body bags get filled and soldier morale plumments. WTF is the point of carrying your weapon if you cannot use it to do your job?

It's what happens when book 'smart' wanna be professors get the keys to the military.

'Regressives'.... How cute that you belive that. What of the modern 'Progressive' agenda is a new idea? I seem to be able to find (failed) examples of the policies being pushed in examples of recent and not so recent, history. Hmmmm....

The worst thing to have happen to you is to work for a pinhead.

The second worst thing to have happen to you is to work for a pinhead that thinks they have all the answers.

Sometimes falling on a sword is the only option.

That shows you willingness to make a stand.


I do realize that you have to "respect the post, not the man", it's the pinhead option that scares me.

Just saw this cartoon and thought, "how appropriate"!!

" Loose lips sink ships",they also sink Generals. If McC. coudn't get a plan
that he designed to work, than he should resign. He has shown the world that
he was a frustrated, undisiplined, loose canon & not fit to command.
