Speaking truth to Power: McChrystal v. Obama

.
So, the president celebrated the deaths of 10 Americans killed in combat in Afghanistan by taking what one blogger refers to as "the Klingon Princess" out to dinner to the Blue Duck Tavern.

You know, if I was one of the White House Chefs, I'd begin to wonder: how bad is the food at the White House, anyway?

Anyway, as it happens, the empty suit appointed an Army general to command NATO forces in Afghanistan. You know, essentially what the messiah called The Good War (tm)

Anywho, while Afghanistan is burning, Emperor Obama is fiddling... and as I may have mentioned on occasion, Amerrican blood is spilling because of his incompetence; his dithering, his complete lack of experience and his total ignorance and disdain of all things military.

General Stanley McChrystal is, no doubt, throwing his career away by challenmging our ACORN-in-Chief publically to do what must be done.

McChrystal is speaking truth to power in a something less than conventional way. The empty suit has "political considerations" from the fringe left that elected him.

In London, Gen McChrystal, who heads the 68,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well as the 100,000 Nato forces, flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.

He told the Institute of International and Strategic Studies that the formula, which is favoured by Vice-President Joe Biden, would lead to "Chaos-istan".

When asked whether he would support it, he said: "The short answer is: No."

He went on to say: "Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support."

The remarks have been seen by some in the Obama administration as a barbed reference to the slow pace of debate within the White House.

Indecision is not a vice in a President. People are dying because this man is afraid.

And while General McChrystal may be seeing the end of his time in the military, he is to be admired and respected for putting his country and his men and women ahead of the political designs of a hapless moron.
