So General David Petrify-the-Terrorists, you say you're "apolitical" and don't want to run for president, even though you're a fine runner and could win that race.
So how about this option? You can race under the "One Nation Peace Party of America (ON)" banner. It's the white dove in red, white, & blue. It's in the middle.
Then, as president, you can do the "Commander in Chief" international relations stuff and delegate all the political warfare to your MVP of choice.
Obama you are the luckiest man on earth that you have Gen Petraeus to fall back on. I hope you are taking notes when you are in his presence.Gen Petraeus is a true Patriot that has answered every call that his Country has made of him.This man has truly walked the walk of putting his life on the line for his Country.Unlike you, Mr. Obama, Gen Petraeus answers the call without blaming anyone or trying to divide our Country along Political Parties. He protects us ALL - maybe you should do the same.
@tkca25 Petraeus is a terrrorist and a traitor.. he's already proved he's a bloodthirsty tyrant who betrays the american people that's why he's called betrayus. He's a traitor and a murderer.
@Striker4928 Well, since he was picked by Obama, I guess you can put Obama in the same category. It's all about the company you keep. Obama's words, not mine.
Remember one thing people. They all still try to blame Bush but the real kicker is Obama was in congress and VOTED to keep on FUNDING the war!! How can you tell a politician is not telling you the truth? (VERY SIMPLE, Just LOOK at there VOTING RECORD From when they were in Congress) The media protected Obama on the war issue! They never brought it up! Know they have to!! It all comes to who is in office! If Katie can't see how much of a JOKE she has been on war! she needs to retire!!
This is the point. No officer is allowed to bad mouth the President. It is a regualtion and is punishable under court-martial. As a veteran of AFGHAN war, McCrystals bull shit ROE sucks and we couldn't even do our jobs like we should. We are lions for the slaughter, lead by lambs. Obama is doing an OK job, however BUSH f**K up everything with his I'm a badass gun-toten cowboy that had to defend daddy. Why do you think our men and women are getting tired of deploying. Keep it 1-hundred.
GEN McChrystal said "fuck you" to Obama's face in that article and Obama, who already has a chip on his shoulder from being half black, took it as an affront to his "leadership"--like Obama has leadership--and his choice of staff. So, Obama fired him. I think McChrystal has a point--the Afghan war effort is not working and Obama is tying his hands--and he vented to a magazine what Obama, or at least Obama's staff, already knew he felt! McChrystal's attitude probably wasn't a surprise to Obama!
@tonmagicwon - Most on the left have privately conceded that Obama is destined to be a one-term president. None of the liberal opinionators are even talking about 2016, only about 2012. Obama can talk the talk, but performance is what matters. The grand experiment has failed.
@avionicswirenut You do understand that COIN was initiated when Patreaus and McChrystal were both assigned to their positions by Obama right? COIN has made things a lot better....evidence of this was when Mckiernan was in command, the war was fought like it was a state vs state war......when it really is not!! Should thank Obama man.
Obama is also very correct, the civilian control of the military must NEVER be underminded, as it really is ONE of the core principles of American democracy.
The General was out of line for speaking publically or in from of a reporter but lets not bs ourselves and think for a second he was not right. How bizzarre the Dem's now put Bushes guy in charge of the war. Wow can you say Bushes third term.
@mudpuddle88 Have you noticed how many Dems are now in support of both Wars and how many of them that trashed Gen P and Pres B are now defending Obama and Gen P? Funny thing, I haven't seen Harry Reid jump up and shout "...everyone knows the War in Iraq is lost...." like he did in June of 2007. Only the chosen few that were against both Wars before Obama are allowed to speak against them now.
Stanley McChrystal acted and spoke like a rebellious teenager rather than a four-star general who is running of the U.S.'s most important and expensive conflicts to date. Personally, I don't want the man in charge of so many young American men to be speaking against his own Administration, as well as speaking so unbelievably inappropriately. He did a foolish thing, and he received the just consequences for it. If you are on his side, then you are against a unified, intelligent government.
Good decision! I wish those big mouths had spoken when george hiho bush was taking the country down the path of a disaster! No, instead they did not dare even "beep" but now, with Obama, they feel that they can say whatever nonsense crosses their limited minds!!!
@IuriOntheStage - Ron Paul was the sole Republican congressman to vote against the Iraq war. Additionally, Pat Buchanan and a few other conservative columnists have been harsh critics of Bush and his foreign policies from Day One.
I remeber this General back in my deployment when he was in charge of SOF Seals and joint OPs with SAS when they blasted Al Zarqawi. He always talked hard, so what if he said a thing or two everyone does did we forget Patton? So someone got their feelings hurt, bitch asses. Besides who wants to be in charge with all the stupid politics undermining the effectiveness of the mission.
@xGUNxBUNNYx I did not believe in the mission at the first place. This is what happens when commonsense and simple logic is not applied properly : With out of balance retarded thinking and the wrong decisions there is no way to win this thing.
@14842 the american people didn't sign on to a war. americans only supported finding and arresting bin laden, not getting involved in the local politics in that region. americans can't win because there isn't a war there.
what standards u talking bout ?
you dont know what we want.
shit we dont know what we want.
So how the fuck do you get to make rash decisions for us ?
