Mc Chrystal.

This is coolbert:

What I figured was to be so is now SO!

This controversy with the remarks of General Mc Chrystal and his senior aides is a very big issue. It does appear that the General is on the way out. The man apparently has already submitted his resignation. Rather than face a courts martial for violation of Article 88 of the UCMJ, Mc Chrystal is a lame duck now and shortly gone from the scene. So I surmise.

"Even mag editor says McChrystal used poor judgment"

"NEW YORK (AP) — Even Rolling Stone's editor agreed with Gen. Stanley McChrystal that the Afghan war's U.S. commander showed poor judgment in airing complaints about the Obama administration in the magazine."

NOT necessarily just poor judgement, but more or less insubordination and a violation of law under UCMJ.

Career personnel can avoid judicial proceedings if they resign first upon complaint.

This event, however, I see as having ramifications that will be mind-boggling.

NO MORE hope of even defeating the Taliban. Victory is now out of the question! [if such a thing was possible in the first place!] An end to the surge as envisioned by Petraeus and Mc Chrystal!

The plan and timetable to draw down and withdraw U.S. troops from Afghan will be accelerated. The Afghan is now faced with making peace with the Taliban or carrying out a counter-insurgency minus U.S. aid. That is how I see it.

All this from the imprudent and rash comments of a general officer and his aides. This is very tragic indeed. NO GOOD AT ALL IS COMING OUT OF THIS!!

Well, c'est le guerre and c'est le vie dude!
