This is astonishing - the guy is a serving general and essentially declaring himself for president in 2012. What he is saying is fair and well-reasoned but anyone who knows anything about Afghanistan, it's history and geography and human nature would reach the same conclusions. He says that coalition forces need to go into communities to explain why relatives and friends of the people there were killed in fighting the insurgency... Well, yes! Most people would imagine that that would be the fir
This guy isn't so great. Only Congress may declare war. So, McChrystal and every troop over there is an ARMED INVADER and they are MASS MURDERERS. Yeah! Of course! Resolutions are for pussies who like to hide from their responsiblilites. We need a NEW CONGRESS!
Watching this speech I didn't catch a reason why Obama might would hated this speech - when he is talking about Afghanistan he nearly says the same. Explain why you think this a speech Obama hates.
You ask a very honest question. Listening to these words, it would be hard for anyone to disagree with the General. His speech proves his insight and that he knows what to do. The speech on the whole details why this is not an easy fight with easy simple plans and solutions. He opens the speech by discounting anyone who would give easy plans and "clean" solutions and calls those people "clueless."
Obama has second-guessed everything the guy does. The simple answer is, jealousy.
Beautiful, this is a Man speaking while cowards stand by and let obama and his ceo bosses rape an entire country. This is a Man SPEAKING the truth and STANDING up for all of the women and mothers, while those idiot politicans scheme and say nothing to try and avoid the recoil from thier plan. This, is a man, a person who stands up for other people no matter what the situation to defend and fight for whats right, and show the truth in times when evil fools, and schemers betray just for money.
I guess they found a reason to crucify him. Anyone who compares Obama to Lincoln or makes him to be as great a man should read a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin called, "Team of Rivals." get it on CD at your library and listen to it on the way to work in the car each day - it's a very good look at another insightful man. Lincoln knew how to identify and direct talent and didn't have to shoot down anyone who dared to make him look like a fool.

I dont care who his boss is. He is on a non starter road. Theres a video online claiming he wants to resign. He ought to! calling for bellicose phallic erections in the middle of the city. Good lord, when will our species learn?
ayom82 is a complete moron to draw that conclusion. Obama is a horror. Oh - call me a racist again. Obama is a radical socialist who hates everything this country stands for. Oh - call me racist again.. Go to hell dumbass. The country is waking up to what Obama is. Oh - call me a racist again.
If you piss your boss off, there will be repercussions. It's true if you work for McDonalds, it's true if you're a 4 star general in the US military.

I don't understand why he was fired -- err, asked to resign. Guess he didn't fold when King Obama told him what to say.
