After McChrystal leaves (and I think he will), I'd wager good money that his next gig

[Skidmore]

is as a contributor on FAUX.

1. HA!

We are of the same mind!

3. How many days?

The only real question is how many days until his insubordination is celebrated on Fox.

[Kber]

6. Days?

I don't think that they will wait that long.

More like minutes (or seconds).

[golddigger]

4. Nope. More like repuke candidate

for 2012.

7. I thought Petraeus had that vote locked!

Isn't he the one that Sarah Youbetcha lusts after?

11. He's a Democrat. He voted for Obama.

Another DU armchair pundit that needs to do some factchecking.

[Kber]

5. Followed by a run at the presidency in 2012

8. Pentagon lobbyist is my prediction.

[Raine1967]

9. I want in on that bet.

He's GOT to go.

Not just for the insubordination to the Commander in Chief, but also for political reasons. If he had a problem, he always had the ear of the President.

10. how much?

Put up or shut up. I will donate $25 to DU if you are right. Willing to match that if you're wrong?

12. And if he's fired, he'll get his own show

Faux loves failed and/or disgraced ex-military people with an axe to grind.

[glitch]

13. And if he resigns he'll only be a guest commentator. He's going for his own show. nt

14. I think he wants out. That way he can blame his replacement and the...

administration for the outcome. I think he should be busted down in rank, and sent off to an outpost in Antartica, or some other appropriate place.

16. Exactly why he shouldn't be allowed to resign

Take a star off his shoulder and make him sink or swim with his war plan.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. But, I appreciate the predicament the administration's in. He'll be...

pilloried by the right for being thin skinned, and he'll be pilloried by his critics, on the left, as the "wimp" McChrystal claims he is. I sort of agree that he should be commanded to stay (at a different rank) and see it through. My concern with him being forced out is, who replaces him? How long to bring that commander up to speed? Will we still be on track for withdrawal? Lots of things to consider.

15. A disappointed Obama voter? He'd fit in here. LOL NT

[tomm2thumbs]

18. good reason to not accept his resignation, and move him to Japan to relax

or Tasmania
