It is my humble opinion that a general with thirty years of experience is vastly more mature in his area of expertise than a thug from Chicago with nothing more to claim as experience than organizing a community! Gen. Stanley McChrystal has been called to the White House Situation Room carpet. He has some explaining to do. "The purpose of calling him here is to see what in the world he was thinking," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. It seems to me he said exactly what he was thinking. You would think the elite sophisticates in the White House could understand such plain speaking. Perhaps what the general said was not close enough to gutter language for them to understand. But I suppose they can always have Rahm Emmanuel translate for His Oneness.
It takes unmitigated gall for this "figment of his own imagination," this mistake in the Oval Office, to even entertain the idea of dressing down a respected general, who has given more to this nation than his Commander in Chief will ever come close to even imagining, much less doing.
Of course, at the time of writing this letter, the general has not met with The Supreme One, but all I am reading speculates that it is quite likely the general will be fired. I hope not. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has stated that he believes Gen. McChrystal is the best commander the United States has sent to Afghanistan over the last nine years. Perhaps this will carry enough weight to cause our distinguished President to think twice. Placing Gen. McChrystal in the job is one of the few things this President has done right.
I realize that what the general did may be a breach of protocol. And surely even he agrees he needs to be reminded of that. But, do not insinuate the man is immature in his job. The Clown in Chief simply needs to let the general do his job.
