He criticized the boss because the boss is clueless. I'm confident that McChrystal didn't say anything that he didn't feel is true. The truth of the matter is a large portion of the American electorate think Obama is clueless also. Coming from the leader of our Afghan operations, a major reponsibility, he'd know first hand whether Obama is clueless. I believe him.

The general was right though.

Of course Obama I'm sure has no problem putting politics above being successful in the war. Reminds me of Stalin killing all his good generals right before WWII.

What decorated hero who has been fighting for America for many years would work for an anti American hack in the first place.

He knows Obama is totally clueless and knows Obama is making decisions that are not good for America.

McChrystal is a well decorated American hero with years of success behind him and has to answer to a pimp from Chicago would cannot run a popcorn stand correctly.

Sounds like he dropped the hammer on himself since he resigned before he met with the president. I guess his options were rather limited this being the second time with the same mistake.
