Barack Obama: Born in Hawaii. Graduated Columbia, then was editor of the Harvard Law review. Worked in both the private and public sector as a lawyer and teacher, as well as serving on the boards of several organizations.
And lets not forget his most important qualification: overwhelmingly elected by the American People to the office of President of the United States. He's the Commander in Chief as designated by the Constitution, and that trumps any and all of McChrystal's qualifications in the question of who is in charge.
I said it before: if McChrystal had said/done what he did whilst serving under Bush, these self-same hypocrits would be demanding McChrystal's head on a platter and shrieking about how the General is a traitor, etc.
These same hypocrits also lectured the left endlessly about how dissing the Commander in Chief is tantamount to giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" especially in war time.
The difference between these lying hypocrits and me is that, even tho I despised Bush, I would have backed Bush, as Pres & CiC, had McChrystal or some other General done/said the same stuff about Bush.
These rightwing hypocrits?? IAOKIFYAR... double stanards are FINE, but let's decry the left at all times for nothing.
So. Sick. of. Their. Bullhockey.
LIARS R the Right.
PS And so McChrystal has a lot of degrees and other honors and stuff. So? Who cares? What difference does that make under the circumstances?
They forgot "ran a secret prison in Iraq to torture prisoners away from prying eyes" and "making fun of his Commander-in-Chief and the Vice President in a popular magazine."
Of course, if Obama didn't let him go, we'd be reading a forward about that pansy Obama who can't control his own military.
@fershitz,
We have an example from the Bush administration. Remember the general who told Congress that Bush's doe-eyed view of troop requirements was horseshit? They ran him out of the pentagon on a rail. For those who don't remember, I'm talking about this guy:

You know who had lots of medals?
SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny.
You know who didn't have any medals?
Ronald Reagan; although he did star in 'Cattle
Queen of Montana', which is somewhat kinda
maybe sorta awesome.
Soooo, maybe you wanna rethink the whole
wrong guy quitting thing?
More silly attacks based on old lies. If you could wave a magic wand and Obama could be turned into a white Republican--they'd probably be fine with most* of the stuff he's done.
*Not healthcare. But the healthcare bill was a great compromise with the Republicans, except the Republicans weren't even part of the process.
At least Obama (and, for that matter, probably McChrystal) is a proven competent user of carriage returns.
Good comments all, but high fives to gruaud and katz!! LOL.
