General Stan McChrystal - Afghanistan - Obama might sack him

Eric Frei

There's 6 pages of an interview with Rolling Stones Magazine that has landed this General in hot water .... I assure you it is well worth a read and is probably the most honest real life read you'll ever get about a general and a war. This guy is a real war hero, a man that calls a spade a spade, a man that is not afraid of the front line, a man that gets things done, a man that sees through bullshit, a man that adapts and develops rather than follow the wheel ruts of others .... sad to see what I think is an American hero get shit on by pen pushers.

Now due to the content of this interview and publication Obama has called General McChrystal back the the white House for an attitude adjustment or perhaps to fire him.

If Hollywood needed material for a new and realistic war movie I think this guy could spit out more movies than Steven Seagal!

From one supporter of you Stan McChrystal stick to your guns and don't let that ass wipe Obama worry you, he's just an elected puppet with no real skills other than lip service, it's the doers that get things done.

Yeah this was really sad to see this all happen. So apparently McChrystal resigned. They didn't make clear whether Obama gave him the boot, or whether he went and told Obama he was resigning. It sounded more like the latter than the former, but it also was made out to sound like Obama canned him.

Hey, anything to take the focus off of the oil spill for a while right?

The whole world is crazy.

I woke up this morning to find we had a new PM! The ginger ninja they're calling her, maybe she's a rello of Therrin's?

9 years is a long time to have a stoush. the longest war ever.
