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.


No. He acted stupidly, esp. for a smart guy. He was arrogant and got
caught.

FYI, you're a moron.


4 star generals have more brains in their finger nail clipings than
you and Harry cobined.


On this I agree. They are highly educated... we spend millions educating
them.


It was his way of kicking back at a stupid president out of his
league. I am sure he knew exactly what he was doing. Wanted to make
some noise on the way out and had the guts to do it.


And, he got fired for it. FAIL

But then that is something you will never understand.


But then you're an idiot.


No, you are too stupid and racist to see it.

Polly want a cracker?
