Gen. McChryal Recalled to the White House

What is going on with the Obama administration that their top hand-picked general in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, feels he needs to complain to Rolling Stone magazine to receive attention on the issues relevant to his theater? The General has been maligned and marginalized by this administration from the very beginning. Typical of Obama, foreign policy is just another way for him to apologize to the world for the actions of the United States. And the two wars…they are just another two inconveniences he inherited from George W. Bush. Inconveniences not really worthy of his time.

According to McChrystal, his meeting with Obama in the early days was a “10-minute photo op.” As stated in an earlier post, Obama is totally unqualified to be President as this shows. Everything is about furthering the legacy of Barak Obama, even meeting with his top general who commands the war against the terrorists in Afghanistan.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal is a soldier, pure and simple. He has a war to fight and win. He intends to win either with or without the backing of the White House. But apparently what he can not do is fight the war with the administration actively working against him. 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.”

General McChrystal is being recalled back to the White House to answer for his comments to Rolling Stone. I would be very surprised if he is left in charge. As a soldier, he answers to his superiors culminating with the President of the United States. Basically, he serves at the whim of Barak Obama and he should have remembered that. But the question still remains, why did McChrystal feel the interview was his last recourse? Are things so bad that the general felt winning the wars was worth his firing? Apparently so.

Barak Obama will not tolerate any challenge to his presidency, even from a high ranking general. What is important is how the President will answer McChrystal. He has a choice, solve the problems with the war in Afghanistan or continue on the path he is—losing the war against terrorism. So far, he is a total failure and America will pay the price for his ineptitude.
