Make a new plan Stan...cause O says you gotta go...

This is a tough one for me...on the one hand I agree with a lot McChrystal had to say & his frustration with this administrations handling of Afghanistan.  Of course I don't know what anybody was thinking about letting a Rolling Stone reporter on a bus with him & his team for days in the first place. I'm guessing they knew what they were saying & the possible repercussions. Of course you do have to give credit where it's due...Mr Big O No Drama Obama lost it...finally. Now on the other hand I can't fault O for firing McChrystal either. He is the Commander in Chief & McChrystal should have saved like comments for private meetings. Keep in mind McChrystal is a life long career Military Officer. When it comes to discipline he most likely operates at a level we cannot even imagine. So I'm guessing that he just had it & knew this would happen. Now here's where my beef is...O is the Commander in Chief...I just really wonder if he gets that. He has at his command the best trained, best equipped, most technically advanced in transportation, communication, weaponry, medical capabilities etc fighting force of ALL time. Like it or not O we are at war. It is not vs another country for resources like most but an asymmetrical war against an ideology. It doesn't matter if he doesn't think we are or if you dear reader do not. Why you ask? Answer: because THEY do! That is why the Trade Center was hit twice, African embassies, The US Cole, the attempt by the show bomber, the attempt by the panties-bomber, the attempt by the idiot in Times Sq etc... THEY believe they are at war & are launching attacks. So now that we got that out of the way...as much as O wants to redistribute wealth, give everyone healthcare, cap & trade to save Gaia (Mother Earth) from fat stupid Americans trying to roast her...he is the President & thus the Commander in Chief of the US Military. Either step up & accept it or don't run in 2012. In the meantime step up & do the job you were voted in for. Stepping down as much as I would like it would be a disaster & leave us with Bite Me & we really don't want him. In the end I wish McChrystal could stay on & I think he should...but I cannot fault O for what he did. The problem is that McChrystal was right in what he said...just should not have said it where he said it. . Let's "hope" that something good comes out of this. That this administration wakes up & O starts showing that he gets it & gets in touch with the American people & the realities on the ground vs the fantasy world in-between his ears. If not...then change is coming...that you can believe!
