Obama 'Furious' with McChrystal

[OldRegular]

History is its own best teacher. I don't believe anyone is confused whose president, we want to avoid the mistakes of the past.

I don't believe this but I agree with you to a degree. The elections there made it clear the Afghanistan people are not serious about their own stable government or national defense against terrorism. They know, rightly so, that we will leave one day and the Taliban will return with vengeance toward any American sympathizer.

America doesn't have the stomach or resources to defend this country forever. Why loose anymore lives since we won't stay forever. Why not just bring the troops home and find a more realistic way to defend the nation from terrorism like actually hunting terrorist instead of taking over countries. Sealing up our borders and investing more in counter terrorism. There is a lot better things we can do with the lives and money being spent in a nation that doesn't want us there.

There is no such thing as a terrorist under your "dear leader".

Giving the peace prize to Obama was an insult to the United States.

Soooooo, I'm not the only one who noticed it!

I think that's exactly what it is OR. The internationalists that have taken control of our government are rubbing our noses in it now.

Spot on OR! Spot on! :thumbs:

Rightly so, Obama is the commander and chief and no leader needs a rouge subordinate with a personal agenda. Soldiers, to include generals are to follow orders as long as they are in uniform. McAuthor had to learn this lesson and if McCrystal keeps this up he will be taught one also...Unfortunately, McCrystal gave up his personal agenda when he raised his hand and took the oath to follow his leaders. If he wants things his way he needs to start his own army.

Let's take a trip in the old Way-Back machine.

In 2006, when Bush was being criticized by Dems for 'not listening to his generals', re: Gen. Shinseki, you said, - "I recall another President who went by the name of LB Johnson who also felt he knew more than his generals. I pray Bush does not repeat his mistakes. I will say this for Bush Sr., he let the generals run the war."

Oh what a difference an election makes!
