McChrystal has been a Bilderberg member for a few years

[27inCali]

I didn't see anyone mention that. I thought it might bring an interesting bit of perspective to the whole thing.

as timid and not-progressive-enough as many here on the Left find Obama's agenda, to the corporate elitists, he's fucking Che Guavara and I wonder sometimes exactly what their plan is for dealing with the threat he poses to their monopolies? And when a member of one of their central secret societies goes out of their way to undermine the President, that whole Obama-is-a-corporate-tool line really loses some heat with me, more like, he wont go far enough for us Liberals, but he's already gone waaay too far in the eyes of the financial elitists.

The Bilderberg types have their reasons for never wanting America to stop fighting in Arghanistan -wanting a crack at the recently discovered minerals is one, trying to explode our Federal debt is another, trying to make money off the interest from all the loans we have to take out to pay for it is another. McChrystal is just carrying their water, trying to damage Obama and trying to throw the American war effort into such confusion that the 2011 withdrawl becomes next to impossible.

I am given heart though, by the manner in which the elites are tipping their hand so obviously now with these powerplays -to me, it is a sign of desperation on their part.

Or, in before the move....

2. Why are so many focusing on McChrystal? He's not the problem or even symptom of the problem. Obama

is Commander in Chief and has authority to unilaterally speed up the withdrawal of US troops.

Congress controls the purse strings and can stop funding military operations in Afghanistan.

McChrystal is a distraction that diverts attention from the real culprits.

3. So you're saying that Obama and Congress are "the problem"

and the culprits, right?

[jody]

5. They are to the problem of bringing our troops home from Afghanistan as rapidly as safety will

permit.

What do you think is the biggest problem facing We the People in our war against Afghanistan?

4. Bilderbergers? Off to the dungeon, I say...

10. You don't think it's a real group?

[MineralMan]

11. Of course it's a real group. They have meetings and everything.

There are lots of groups. Few have as many conspiracy theorists musing about them, though.

6. The bigger question is

why did Obama appoint him.

[flyarm]

7. Obama went to the Bilderbergs and was accepted there..and Oprah is now a member..

Obama went to Bilderberg meetings right before the 2008 election..along with Hillary..
