Rolling Stone Editor: McChrystal Knew He Was On The Record, Didn't Dispute Accuracy Of Quotes (VIDEO)

I think many of the commenters who are expecting McChrystal to be fired (& who I assume are Obama's most ardent supporters) haven't actually read the RollingStone article, only the quotes, which are the least sensational, illuminating aspects of the article.



I don't think Obama will fire him, won't do much of anything, but reaffirm McChrystal as his choice for the job in Afghanistan. Because Obama's plan for Afghanistan is the Bush-Cheney plan (permanent puppet government & occupation). It's never made any sense for Obama to increase the troops if the goal was to leave in a year. What Obama wants accomplished can't be done in a year, or two or ten, if ever. Obama's supporters have presumed Obama's intentions were to give neocons a chance, a year, give them enough rope to accomplish their goal, but that goal has never been clearly defined. A year & a half has now passed with Obama doing what he always does -- Kicks the can down the road. He stalls off pressure to actually institute the CHANGE & populist policies that he promised. Obama's presidency, all policies, domestic & foreign, will be one of merely "warming the seat", acting as a place-holder, marking time, until the next president takes office.



McChrystal's already apologized (the comments don't appear to have actually come from him, but from one or more of his aides). What's really comes out in the article is our failed policy & presence in Afghanistan, how every American there should be
