1. I just voted yes...can't see how anyone could not vote yes...n/t

[EnlightenedOne]

2. Obviously, the freepers have it

[joeybee12]

6. Yes, and it's obvious when you read some of the comments as to why

they voted no.

[bluethruandthru]

15. I wanted to vote that he should demote him.

But that wasn't an option. If he forces him out, McChrystal will just become a faux news talking idiot and make 5 times what he did as a "good soldier".

[Warpy]

3. "Reassign" was not part of the poll

So I abstained.

[Angry Dragon]

4. You vote no for the reasons

1. Reduce him in rank
2. Give him a shit job
3. Make an example of him
4. Possible court marshal

[EnlightenedOne]

7. Didn't think of it that way

[woo me with science]

9. 5. Keep him from being hired at FOX News. nt

[Abq_Sarah]

13. None of which will happen

About the only thing they can do is force him to retire.

[Sinistrous]

5. I would have voted "No".

McCrystal should be face Courts Marshal and be dismissed.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Meaningless online poll.

[newspeak]

10. yep, You know I missed that poll

when * was getting rid of the generals before Iraq. It seems now everything is a poll, when someone in the upper echelon is not agreeing with a certain outcome.

11. Thank you.

I was excited, I thought this actually meant something.

then I clicked on the thread. :shrug:

Some interesting comments, nevertheless.

"Sepukku" HA

the comment about the UCMJ ... if little faux general Billy McCrystal has the honor he claims to, then he will tender his resignation immediately.

[Lil Missy]

12. He should be demoted first, then fired.

[emilyg]

14. Pretty much same results on CNN poll.

[HughMoran]

16. WTF?

Are people devoid of common sense?

[MilesColtrane]

17. McChrystal should have been out after he publicly released his request...

for more troops in Afghanistan back in September.

That was a power play solely intended to bust Obama's balls.

The President finds himself with this stinking load now because he didn't discipline McChrystal back then.

[MilesColtrane]

19. And furthermore,...

It's well past time to give Gates the heave ho.

While he may know the Pentagon well and have adequate administrative skills, it's pretty obvious that he's giving Obama bad advice.

Wes Clark is tanned, rested, and ready, Mr. President.

18. Screw the polls. The President needs to show he is the boss and fire the general. Nothing more or

less. There is no room for insuborination.
