But he IS the only one who has absolutely NO judgment....or else he's gone senile. All he had to do was resign; he didn't HAVE to make himself look like a moron.

I underestimated how tough the job of President of the United States was, and I am clearly not ready to lead, therefore I am resigning effective at Noon today." I think McChrystal knew exactly what he was doing when he made those comments, but felt it was necessary for the good of the nation to expose the incompetence of the administration, and to let everyone know how they are hampering the war effort. To me, McChrystal is a hero, but I expect that it will cost him his job. Hopefully when that happens, he will feel free to further expose everything he knows about the mishandling of the war. Odd that he would do this since he's a Democrat who voted for Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective, the General is trying to protect our troops. We'll see if maybe he has another agenda as time goes along. I doubt the man is just stupid considering the position he is in. And I doubt that he was just slipping up in talking to the Rolling Stone reporter. We'll see as time goes along what his aganda was/is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
