I believe Obama did what he had to do. How embarrassing to hear the Commander of the Afghanistan War say you were unprepared for the most important meeting in the history of the war on your watch. I will be quoting McChrystal every chance I get.<br /><br />This is the first time I've agreed with anything Obama has done. This very experienced, magnificent warrior must have lost his mind for a month.<br /><br />But in a way, he did us all a favor, because now we know the Commander-in-Chief was probably filling out his score card rather than preparing to battle Taliban.<br /><br />I agree with all you said about Petraeus, also a mighty warrior. <br /><br />Assuming the story is true that McChrystal banned Fox in his headquarters - what does that say? To me it says he would rather his men listen to the very people so disdainful of their mission. That equals abuse in my opinion.Maggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503734024591838429.post-74403487284463907432010-06-25T10:22:43.687-04:002010-06-25T10:22:43.687-04:00I'm sick of the media twisting everything to m...I'm sick of the media twisting everything to make obongo look good.Amusing Bunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385840951446381247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503734024591838429.post-6785179537162923342010-06-25T09:06:47.079-04:002010-06-25T09:06:47.079-04:00Odie:

I also believe that it's not OK for him and/or his staff to say negative things about his boss (the President) and his administration in a public display. Why in the world would Gen. McChrystal give an interview to Rolling Stone magazine anyway? I heard today that he's a liberal and voted for Obama, so that may be the answer.<br />What I do find interesting is that Obama hired General Petraeus to take over after he (Obama), Hillary and the rest of the Dems called him a liar about the surge in Iraq. Now he's the the guy they are turning to to win the war in Afghanistan. The state-run media can't stop talking about what a great leader and genius Obama is that he turned to Gen. Petraeus after he canned McChrystal.

The President did what needed to be done. Just because you agree with what was said, doesn't make it ok. <br /><br />Just remember, somewhere down the road a republican president could be in this position, and would be right to get rid of the person. Conservatives were none to pleased when this happened to Bush. <br /><br />It is not thier job to give commentary.
