General's future in the balance
McChrystal summoned from Afghanistan to the White House
The future of the top U.S. general in Afghanistan hung in the balance as the psychotic White House summoned him back to Washington DC to explain remarks critical of Obama administration officials.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Gen. Stanley McChrystal had "made a significant mistake and exercised poor judgment"
after a Rolling Stone profile in which aides called one top Obama official a "clown" and another a "wounded animal" and the general himself made disparaging remarks about officials.
McChrystal Apologizes for Remarks in Profile, Summoned to White House
Dear General, you should not apologize! Obama should apologize to you!
In the article in this week's issue of Rolling Stone, Gen. Stanley McChrystal said he felt betrayed and blind-sided by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry.
McChrystal's comments are reverberating through Washington and the Pentagon after the magazine
Rolling Stone depicted McChrystal as a lone wolf on the outs with many important figures in the Obama administration.
McChrystal voted for Obama, but they failed to connect from the start. Obama called McChrystal on the carpet last fall for speaking too bluntly about his desire for more troops.
McChrystal said, "I found that time painful. I was selling an unsellable position."
Obama agreed to dispatch an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan only after months of study that many in the military found frustrating.
The White House's troop commitment was coupled with a pledge to begin bringing them home in July 2011, in what counterinsurgency strategists advising McChrystal regarded as an arbitrary deadline.
McChrystal said Tuesday, "I have enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his national security team, and for the civilian leaders and troops fighting this war and I remain committed to ensuring its successful outcome."
The profile, titled "The Runaway General," emerged from several weeks of interviews and travel with McChrystal's tight circle of aides this spring.
The article claims McChrystal has seized control of the war "by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House."
Asked by the Rolling Stone reporter about what he now feels of the war strategy advocated by Biden last fall – fewer troops, more drone attacks – McChrystal and his aides reportedly attempted to come up with a good one-liner to dismiss the question.

McChrystal Says U.S. Ambassador 'Betrayed' Him With Criticism of Afghan War Strategy
The top American commander in Afghanistan is complaining that he was "betrayed" by the U.S. ambassador during discussions of sending more troops to fight the war.
WASHINGTON -- The top U.S. war commander in Afghanistan told an interviewer he felt betrayed by the man the White House chose to be his diplomatic partner, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry.
An article out this week in "Rolling Stone" magazine depicts Gen. Stanley McChrystal as a lone wolf on the outs with many important figures in the Obama administration and unable to convince even some of his own soldiers that his strategy can win the war.
A band of McChrystal's profane, irreverent aides are quoted mocking Vice President Joe Biden and Richard Holbrooke, the special U.S. representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
McChrystal himself is described by an aide as "disappointed" in his first Oval Office meeting with an unprepared President Barack Obama.
The article says that although McChrystal voted for Obama, the two failed to connect from the start. Obama called McChrystal on the carpet last fall for speaking too bluntly about his desire for more troops.

Stanley McChrystal, The runaway general
June 22, 2010 Rolling Stone magazine article
Obama’s top commander in Afghanistan never takes his eye off real enemy
“How'd I get screwed into going to this dinner?" demands Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
It's a Thursday night in mid-April, and the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is sitting in a four-star suite at the Hotel Westminster in Paris.
He's in France to sell his new war strategy to our NATO allies – to keep up the fiction, in essence, that we actually have allies.
Since McChrystal took over a year ago, the Afghan war has become the exclusive property of the United States.
Opposition to the war has already toppled the Dutch government, forced the resignation of Germany's president and sparked both Canada and the Netherlands to announce the withdrawal of their 4,500 troops.
McChrystal is in Paris to keep the French, who have lost more than 40 soldiers in Afghanistan, from going all wobbly on him.
B. Hussein Obama reacted angrily to comments by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and is leaving his options open about firing him.
Obama was angry after reading about McChrystal's comments in a Rolling Stone magazine profile.
Just what America needs - an angry power dud in the white?house.
Obama also fired the first general for telling the truth.

Can Gen. Stanley McChrystal save his job
June 23, 2010 Wednesday
It will be hard for Gen. Stanley McChrystal to save his job.
McChrystal left the Pentagon at around 8:30 a.m. ET and was to meet Obama at the White House at 9:45 a.m.
Obama was expected to make an announcement on McChrystal's future soon after their face-to-face.
The vultures .. .errr .. reporters hung around like vampires hoping for blood.
In a Rolling Stone magazine article, McChrystal didn't criticize Obama himself.

Obama Fires McChrystal, Names David Petraeus as Replacement
June 23, 2010
Obama is insane, to replace a fit war hero with a man who fainted!
B Hussein Obama announced Wednesday that he has accepted Gen. Stanley McChrystal's resignation as the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan following a scathing article in which he and his aides were quoted criticizing the administration for its handling of the war.
In doing so, Obama nominated Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command and the former commanding general in Iraq, to replace him. The president stressed that while the decision was a difficult one, it does not represent a change in the course of the war.
"This is a change in personnel, but it is not a change in policy," Obama said in the Rose Garden, Petraeus by his side and McChrystal nowhere to be seen.
The president praised McChrystal, saying he always showed "great courtesy" and carried out his orders "faithfully," and that they were on the same page in terms of war strategy. He said the decision to accept the general's resignation was made was not based on "personal insult," but a desire to ensure there is no "diversion" to the mission. Obama said the conduct described in the article "does not meet the standard that should be set by a commanding general," which led him to his decision.
"I did so with considerable regret, but also with certainty that it is the right thing for our mission in Afghanistan, for our military and for our country," Obama said. "War is bigger than any one man or woman, whether a private, a general or a president."
Obama said the commentary in the article "undermines" the civilian chain of command. "It erodes the trust that is necessary for our team to work together to achieve our objectives in Afghanistan," he said, adding: "Now is the time for all of us to come together."
McChrystal got his marching orders in Washington, where he met face-to-face with the president after a meeting with Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon.
The Wednesday meeting preceded a regular session of the administration's strategy team for Afghanistan, held in the White House Situation Room. Normally, McChrystal would have joined via teleconference but he was summoned to Washington as he faced a private flogging over the article that appeared in Rolling Stone.
If not insubordination, the remarks in the Rolling Stone magazine article were at least an indirect challenge to civilian management of the war in Washington by its top military commander.
Military leaders rarely challenge their commander in chief publicly, and when they do, consequences tend to be more severe than a scolding.
"I think it's clear that the article in which he and his team appeared showed a poor -- showed poor judgment," the president said Tuesday, surrounded by members of his Cabinet. "But I also want to make sure that I talk to him directly before I make any final decisions."
Gates hand-picked McChrystal to take over the war last year, calling him a driven visionary with the fortitude and intelligence to turn the war around. Obama fired the previous commander at Gates' recommendation.
In Kabul on Tuesday, McChrystal issued a statement saying: "I extend my sincerest apology for this profile. It was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened."
In the Rolling Stone article, McChrystal and his staff described the president as unprepared for their first one-on-one encounter.
McChrystal also said he felt betrayed and blind-sided by his diplomatic partner, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry. Eikenberry remains in his post in Kabul, and although both men publicly say they are friends, their rift is on full display. McChrystal and Eikenberry, himself a retired Army general, stood as far apart as the speakers' platform would allow during a White House news conference last month.
The story characterized the general as unable to convince some of his own soldiers that his strategy can win the nation's longest-running war, and dejected that the president didn't know about his commendable military record.
The article says that although McChrystal voted for Obama, the two failed to connect from the start. Obama called McChrystal on the carpet last fall for speaking too bluntly about his desire for more troops.
"I found that time painful," McChrystal said in the article, on newsstands Friday. "I was selling an unsellable position."
It quoted an adviser to McChrystal dismissing their early meeting last year as a "10-minute photo-op."
"Obama clearly didn't know anything about him, who he was. The boss was pretty disappointed," the adviser told the magazine.
Some of the strongest criticism was reserved for Richard Holbrooke, Obama's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"The boss says he's like a wounded animal," one of the general's aides was quoted as saying. "Holbrooke keeps hearing rumors that he's going to get fired, so that makes him dangerous."
McChrystal also said he felt "betrayed" by Eikenberry for expressing doubts about his proposed troop buildup last year and accused the ambassador of giving himself cover.
"Here's one that covers his flank for the history books," McChrystal told the magazine. "Now, if we fail, they can say 'I told you so."'
Obama agreed to dispatch an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan only after months of study that many in the military found frustrating. The White House's troop commitment was coupled with a pledge to begin bringing troops home in July 2011, in what counterinsurgency strategists advising McChrystal regarded as an arbitrary deadline.
The profile, titled "The Runaway General," emerged from several weeks of interviews and travel with McChrystal's tight circle of aides this spring.
It includes a list of administration figures said to back McChrystal, including Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and puts Vice President Joe Biden at the top of a list of those who don't.
The article claims McChrystal has seized control of the war "by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House."
Now, you will no longer have the military running the operation.
They will no longer take initiative, and they will wait for the decisions of their, "commissar in chief."
He has already demonstrated his leadership in the Gulf of Mexico. So now he is ready for the Persian Gulf.
"This miscarriage will not be healed and will lead to the next round. And the next, and the next .... .
each "solution" bringing greater problems and distress with perplexity.
God is the one who chooses each nation's ruler. And he gives each nation the ruler that they deserve.
And Obama is looking for someone's "ass to kick." http://cj.myfreeforum.org/ftopic736-0-asc-10.php
And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars
and upon the earth [there will be] distress (trouble and anguish) of nations in bewilderment
and perplexity (without resources, left wanting, embarrassed, in doubt, not knowing which way to turn)
at the roaring (the echo) of the tossing of the sea. Amplified Version

Why is McChrystal fired for violating the code of conduct?
Obama is a big hypocrite talking about the General violating the code of conduct when his own poor code of conduct should been dealt with since he been in office.
He should be fired for what he he is doing and has done against the people of this nation.
Is something going on - far beyond what we are seeing?
B Hussein Obama has proved he is hopeless, a fool.
The NWO globalists shadow govt put him in there to destroy America. He did that.
Are they about to replace him and his fool Biden? With who? Hellary Clinton?
Just keep watching . . . .
