notice he never complains about the rich white frat boy who screwed
this whole thing up?


Bush fired or "retired" many generals for speaking out. I think Obama
should not fire him unless he believes that McCrystall can no longer do
the job he was assigned to do.


Obama's ego will cause McCrystal to be fired.

He is a thin skinned little man, isn't he?

Actually, you short ****, several presidents have fired there generals
for less. Truman/McArthur, Lincoln fired several before finding Grant,
Johnson fired Lemay, McKinley fired Lemay, etc.

Your ego needs to be self-inflated to compensate for your obvious
lack of intelligence.


Was he fired or not, Dippy?


He was fires for insubordination, as opposed to what Bush did... fire
people for stating facts, Dufus.

He resigned, probably was put to him, resign with full pension or I will
fire you for my ego and cause you pension grief.

He chose wisely and resigned.

He didn't have a choice. He was told to resign. He follows orders. You're
an idiot.


And I suppose you were a flea on the wall and heard every word of what
transpired.
We do know one thing for sure. Obie wasn't pleased to have a four star
general of the army spit in his face.

The general was an out-of-control asshole whose mission, the one he
designed and implemented, was failing. He has a long history of shooting
off his mouth. He also has a booze problem, and wasn't he the general
who covered up the Tillman cluster****?

Generals are a dime a dozen.

Obama let him resign rather than fire him so that the general could keep
that fourth star and the benefits it brings. The general had no class.
The president does have class.

If generals are a dime a dozen, I guess that makes cowards like you less
than worthless.

I have scraped better than you off the bottom of my shoe.

Bush fired Shinseki for telling the truth at a congressional hearing where
he was under oath. Does that count?

They really can't order him to resign but they can make it the most
attractive option.
Usually, in these situations, the guy actually wants the freedom to
speak freely so he goes. I just hope we don't have to hear the "old
soldier" speech.
I imagine he will be doing the Sunday shows the weekend after he is
separated. Then we will hear what he really thinks.

I think we already know what he "really thinks." The point is that it was
insubordination, and that can't be tolerated in the command staff.

My bet is we ain't heard nothin' yet.
This guy will write a book and do the talk show circuit, probably
ending up with a show on Fox or CNN.
I expect to see him Sunday if he gets mustered out by then.


Spot on. I was more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt
and charge off his insubordination to strange circumstances, but the
more I hear about this guy, the more the bozo he seems. He apparently
was involved in the Tillman coverup and in torture cases, too.
