President Obama has relieved Gen. Stanley McChrystal of his duties as the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, after McChrystal was quoted criticizing top White House officials in a Rolling Stone article, according to a White House official.
President Obama named Gen. David Petraeus to succeed McChrystal as top war commander in Afghanistan.
Will this be a first for the rightwing bloggers to say a positive word about President Obama?? We'll soon see....
Think Progress says...Conservatives are likely to cheer Obama’s decision. Yesterday, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol advised Obama to “ask Gen. David Petraeus to give up his CENTCOM post and take command of the war in Afghanistan.”
But the asshole commenters at Fox.com say this...
"I just got finished reading the highlights of General McChrystal's career. This man is an American Patriot of the highest order. Since 1976, he has served with distinction and honor. The audacity that an incompetent, America hating loser of a president can terminate him makes my skin crawl. Barack Obama has no clue of how to prosecute a war, nor how to govern a country. America is in great peril as a result of the November, 2008 presidential election."
"How does an illegal alien get to fire a General?"
And I will end with this noble comment from one sick M F'er ....
"It is time for the military to remember to what their first allegiance is to; The Constitution of the United States and not to the President or Vice President. It is time for the military to take matters into their own hands and remove the traitors that occupy the White House, The Blair house, the Halls of Congress, and the Supreme Court of the United States; and Return the Nation to the Federalist Republic that the Founding Fathers created and intended our nation to be. Anyone who promotes SOCIALISM, as a choice for America, is an enemy of the States and Citizens of the United States and needs to be dealt with charges of High Treason and upon conviction executed as appropriate.
May God restore the mightiness of the United States, with His grace!
Pro Deo Et Patria!
These are Americas Fox Patriots!!
