He is the very embodiment of the brutality and gore that accompanies military-driven empire building." </i><br /><br />via this:<br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/PrintArticle.php?articleId=13999<br /><br />i don't think Obama is learning him anything. i think maybe Obama is going to meet the bus soon and mcchrystal's body language might be interpreted as "i can't believe i have to sit here and listen to this asshole"A.

I thi...I think you're reading too much into it. I think an officer of McChrystal's rank is perpetually taut. <br /><br />The recent Newsweek article on the General was positive; he seems to understand counter insurgency. One of his first orders - obey local speed limits - show he understands the need to avoid appearing like conquerors. If we can make some portion (obviously not all) of Afghanistan fairly safe for a limited amount of time to allow the local government to establish whatever corrupt order they can, we can then withdraw. We broke it, we elected the ADHD Bush who ignored it, we need to at least try to leave them in some semblance of order.<br /><br />On the other hand, I was horrified to learn that McChrystal was the army's point man in the Pat Tillman coverup and exploitation. Yes, he was being directed by the traitors in the White House, and a good soldier follows orders. But I would like him to come clean about that national disgrace before I trust him with more troops.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131130287667282873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-39978086307196895522009-10-07T21:39:28.538-07:002009-10-07T21:39:28.538-07:00Brilliant match of text and illustration.Brilliant match of text and illustration.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.com
