Poor Obama is getting it from two fronts: The US racists/Islamophobics and the British.

We are all familiar with the racists/Islamophobics but may be the British need some explanation. I will just give you a clue and that is BP.

Remember when Bush fired Pace? Shinsecki? Not much difference. If you don’t do what the boss wants, you are out! I talk smack about my boss in a national publication and I expect what, a hug and a raise?

Sande, you are as blind as your so called commander and chief. McChrystal has been trying to fight a war not have a tea party. If you remember McChrystal asked for more troops and it took your president 6 months to even give a response. Your president is the one who doesn’t want to fight a war. Obama is a muslim at heart and will not ever fight against another muslim. Obama loves his TOWEL-a-ban (LOL). Wake up.

McChrystal needs to finish what he started.Changing generals in the middle of a stream would not be smart.Whatever McChrystal said was
not as bad as Obama’s remark that he was going to KICK SOME ASS
on national television. I didn’t hear an apology for his remark.Keep the general, but next time take frustrations out on the enemy.

Obviously, the general is completely disgusted with this administration. He is not a fool. He knows what he is doing.

He is frustrated that he had too wait for 6 months to get the orders from the White House. I understand that he doesn’t have any power to give orders, he is led around by the White House.

He has troops to protect, and he can not effectively protect them when he has to wait for the order from the White House. We have lost enough good men and women already. Let’s get an administration that is for the United States, and NOT against us!

I would think that those of us who have served this country would know exactly what is going on.

I would quit too!

He is the best, and the administration now has a chance to do right by our military and our country.

McChrystal needs to be fired and not allowed to resign thereby securing his retirement benefits. He was sent to Afghanistan to fight a war not hold a Tea Party. As a veteran, myself, I find his behavior appalling, especially, at his rank. He is endangering the lives of our soldiers. Any, active duty, subordinate making negative remarks about their superiors pay a heavy price and he should pay the piper as well. He is a disgrace to our military.

Hey Katheryn -

Just as an FYI, that image is an Associated Press photo, and, according to their information, is a real photo. Here’s how they describe it:

“In this March 28, 2010 file photo, President Barack Obama is greeted by Commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan Gen. Stanley McChrystal, left, and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl W. Eikenberry, right, at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, en route to an unannounced visit with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, Afghanistan. McChrystal has been summoned to Washington to explain derogatory comments about President Barack Obama and his colleagues, administration officials said Tuesday. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)”

Its great to see the Generals finally stand up against this bafoon in the white house, I think its time a military coup to take place and return us back to what the founding fathers wanted, USA not the USSR.
