McChrystal is toast! The only thing left to be decided is whether

[TheDebbieDee]

or not he is court-martialed.

He's hoping to get out of this mess with his pension in tact - that's the reason for all the phonecalls he's been making.

1. We should let Pat Tilman's mom decide what happens to him. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I agree

[Betty Karlson]

7. Can we throw the whole Delta Force into the court-martial? n/t

[bluestateguy]

2. I think he should be fired

but I have to tell you that I don't think Obama has the balls to can him, as I don't think he is up for all the political fallout that would follow.

3. Hahahah....he's not toast....

I mean it's not like he's a liberal or anything. Those are the only people in Washington and in the Obama administration that actually get called to task for doing or saying things out of line.

He'll probably get a Medal of Honor just to show "bipartisanship".

4. extreme FAIL

5. If Obama does not fire him...I would be surprised and saddened.

Not firing him would sadden me greatly.
Who is in charge? An apology is not enough.
To publicly criticize the Commander in Chief is wrong. This is a subordinate who did this on purpose and a top general in the army. All others at the Joint Chiefs know it. This the military, not day to day with the Pukes. There is a chain of command.
.. Anyone who studies history or politics knows it. Does Obama know it?

9. Context would be nice.
