So McChrystal is a Cheney hack

[malaise]

so if Obama does not fire him he will continue to sabotage the President.
Court Martial the war criminal.
That is all.

2. McCheney is a Chrystal meth addict?

What?

:rofl:

[malaise]

5. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah

hahahahahahahah :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

3. I'm not surprised

A lot of brass retired rather than play along in Bush's illegal wars.


So, a lot of kiss ass hacks were left behind to take over.

[malaise]

7. The ambitious racist incompetents

with agendas plus the crusade mentality - yes indeed. :fistbump:

[Mojorabbit]

20. The Atlantic says

he voted for Obama so the whole thing is weird.

[KharmaTrain]

4. And Make Him A Martyr?

I'm with KO on this one with a bit of a twist. I'd take his resignation and put it in the desk and as soon as he left the room, I'd buck him down to shuffling papers in a post in Antartica...don't accept the resignation until after the elections.

The right wing are hoping President Obama drops the axe on him...or lets him go so he can be a poster child of a "dysfunctional military" meme the GOOP is dying to use for the upcoming elections. You know they'll revise history...forget about the corruption and ineptness of the war criminals that gave us both of these ugly wars and the people who ran them.

:hi:

6. A very interesting perspective

9. He is now Obama's Hack..Obama knew who and what this man is..

he put the man in charge of Afghan..there is a chain of command..Obama is the top of that command..and Sy Hersh put this out in May..if Obama didn't want this going on, he should not have put him in charge..there was plenty of previous behavior known on this pig!

Hersh: U.S Executing Afghan Prisoners

As the Afghan occupation continues to prove troublesome for the Obama administration, a report says US-led troops torture and execute prisoners in the country. Seymour Hersh, an investigative journalist with the New Yorker, made the revelation during the Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Geneva.

"I'll tell you right now, one of the great tragedies of my country is that Mr. Obama is looking the other way, because equally horrible things are happening to prisoners, to those we capture in Afghanistan," Hersh said. He also alleged that US forces were engaged in 'battlefield executions' and other heinous offences, Raw Story reported. "They're being executed on the battlefield. It's unbelievable stuff going on there that doesn't necessarily get reported. Things don't change," Hersh noted.

Hersh who worked for many years at The New York Times also helped break the story that detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were being tortured by their US jailers. The report comes as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has recently confirmed reports about the existence of a secret detention facility at a US airbase in Bagram in Afghanistan.

Human rights groups say Bagram and other US-ran jail facilities have remained US torture centers since the toppling of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan nine years ago. However, US officials claim that all inmates in the facility are treated humanely.

10. "are treated humanely"

Same thing kill shelters say about the dogs and cats they dispose of.

We're so not the "beacon of freedom" anymore...

[malaise]

13. I agree

Obama should never have appointed him.

[DrDan]

11. it will make Obama look petty and vindictive . . .

replace him and let the Army reassign him to another job.

[Lil Missy]

12. There is the real story right there.

[indepat]

14. What do you get when you keep/appoint/fall in love with a Cheney hack:

pain and misery and probably disloyalty as lagniappe. :P

[malaise]

15. Indeed

:hi:

[glitch]

16. Only if lagniappe means a disease.

Yeah, I had to look it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagniappe

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. Wouldn't it be cool if he could use the pressure on McChrystal to make

him roll over on Cheney - you know, like they use a wise guy to roll over on the Mafia boss.

[malaise]

18. Won't happen

Cheney covered up his crime against Tilman - maybe he did that for Cheney as well.

[obxhead]

19. yes, more continuation of Bush policy through the use of

Bush/Cheney people. I'll never understand how Obama expects to get 'change' while using the same people from the last admin.
