President Obama was having that one, lone brief conversation this year
with General McChrystal about Afghanistan.

Things were obviously not going the way the General had hoped. Obama
could sense this, and told him, "I bet when I die, you'll urinate on my
grave!"

To which General McChrystal answered,
"No sir, I've always said that when I get out of the Army, I'll never
again
wait in another line."


Yeah, well Obama is President and McChrystal damaged his reputation for
all time by dissing his commander in public.


Brilliant deduction Plume. I think he took a calculated risk and knew
exactly what he was doing. Four star generals aren't known for being dummys.
Unlike "lawyers" who quit their paying jobs to dive in dumsters for used
clothing to sell over the internet.
