“What we did today was to discuss General McChrystal’s overall assessment, his overall approach, and I have noted a broad support from all ministers of this overall counterinsurgency approach,” said NATO’s secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
Ha! So, Obama says to McC, "Meh..." And McC says to him, he says to him,. he says, "Blow it out yer ass, I'm goin' to Slovakia to pitch it to NATO"
But a fair assessment? This will not end well.. Obama has other plans for troops (Iran, maybe?).. if not, why hasn't he deployed them? After all, it's not like McC is playing the role of Philip from Braveheart, where he gets tossed out of the window for being an idiot. McC is far from it, but I got a feeling he's gonna end up on the receiving end of the King's wrath, so to speak. Maybe not out of an actual window, but out of a proverbial one, instead.
Yeah. That guy.
Obama's ego won't let this pass. I think the good general weighed his options and figured his duty was (potentially) worth the cost of his career.
ReplyDeleteMayhaps. We'll see in a few days, I have no doubt.
