That is a no braianer. Might as well pull the troops out now to save American lives. Obama has promised to do it next year anyway. One general gets relieved and one is going to get thrown on Obama's trash pile. It is a no win situation. The enemy is laughing all the way to the poppy fields.

#2 Sheila Tolley on 06/23/10 at 09:33 PM

The one opposite obama.

#3 Anonymous on 06/24/10 at 04:47 AM

And what experience does obamma have?

...For anything?

#4 fat bass tard on 06/24/10 at 05:32 AM

I love that picture McChrystal is thinking...

"Boy, I'll rip off your head and .... down your neck."

Unfortunately it is more along the lines of the contempt most Americans feel toward the "umm" President. Sad isn't it!

#4.1.1 fat bass tard on 06/24/10 at 04:41 PM

it's a well deserved contempt

#5 Anono on 06/24/10 at 05:41 AM

Maybe the Prez should land on a Carrier and declare Mission Accomplished but I guess ten yrs. later that was a little premature.

#5.1 Brad on 06/24/10 at 08:54 AM

If you would pay attention, that particual mission was over and was a success. He did not say "The war is over, we can all come home". You may run many many many missions during a war. What is wrong with telling a boatload of our enlisted people that they did a good job accomplishing their particular mission?

#5.1.1 Anono on 06/24/10 at 02:03 PM

What mission was that Brad? I thought the mission was winning the war and why would you celebrate one mission when the main objective had no been achieved. Premature Celebration.

#5.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 06/24/10 at 04:41 PM

if you knew anything about military operations you would have understood the difference.

#5.1.1.1.1 Anono on 06/25/10 at 11:24 AM

I only know that one celebrates when the mission is actually accomplished on all fronts. I am glad I do not know your form of accomplishment.

#5.1.1.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 06/25/10 at 09:22 PM

I suspect you don't know anything about accomplishment at all.

#5.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anono on 06/26/10 at 12:43 PM

That's funny, but I know I would not want to live by your definition of accomplishment.

#5.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 06/26/10 at 04:24 PM

you would rather live as a failure?

#5.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anono on 06/27/10 at 08:09 AM

By the look of it your def. of accomplishment really means failure but I will give you the last work fat bass re(tard).

#5.1.1.2 Sheila Tolley on 06/27/10 at 08:49 AM

That comes right before premature evacuation, right?

#6 Pike Patriot Homeowner on 06/24/10 at 06:45 AM

Give Obama some time, space and visibility. Our president has a full plate never before seen by any other man in history. Obama is working on world unity and will succeed with our help and prayers. In 6 more years he will accomplish this, one world, one leader, one man. No longer will we be held to term limits and Obama will rule the world with total control once and for all.
Don't forget my fireworks July 3rd, I Love Fireworks.

OBAMA THE FUTURE

#6.1 No fan club on 06/24/10 at 12:54 PM

JC you should stop it. Yesterday your IP Identifer System got your clock cleaned. The best friend and feared enemy had you deleting your own post fast. He is one you do not cross or stab in the back. Lesson Learned?

#6.2 Sheila Tolley on 06/27/10 at 08:52 AM

Poor, poor PPH. Those brain cells are just dying away aren't they?

#7 Anonymous on 06/24/10 at 08:34 AM

Any one except Obama!!! He's the biggest joke of America ever!!!!!

#8 Anonymous on 06/24/10 at 10:10 AM

I remember a time when the President of the Great & powerful United States of America was someone to look up to...I guess Clinton really got my attention when he lied..I know many other presidents have lied but this one got my total attention. How sad that I now look at the position in a different way...Obama did come on with a full plate, we knew it and he knew it..he was elected anyway...he was voted in I never thought it would happen, and I really feel sorry for those that usuallly dont vote that got out of their comfort zone and Voted thinking there would be a change..well sad to say there is a change coming and it aint good ..I choose the General..and I agree he looks like he could take the one on the left apart limb by limb

#9 rtvols on 06/24/10 at 11:41 AM

Obama is here to destroy America and the people that voted for him still believes in him. WAKE UP AMERICA, we are in trouble with this idiot.

#10 Yes Whom on 06/24/10 at 12:02 PM

Pollcat administrative assistant, Whom is proper. Sweet Tater you stick with your site, we are professionals here.

#11 Donna Jo on 06/24/10 at 12:09 PM

Judgment call! I trust the man sitting in the middle of it as it happens. He has a first hand view of whats going on around him.

Obama at the most has a walk through and second hand information.

''In 6 more years he will accomplish this, one world, one leader, one man.No longer will we be held to term limits and Obama will rule the world with total control once and for all.'

and we all know what the bible says about this!

#12.1 v smith on 06/25/10 at 07:30 AM

don't forget though, in the bible, he dies only to rise 3 days later as the devil incarnate

#13 Tired of the Carping on 06/25/10 at 07:05 AM

You people sure know how to complain over something you can't control. First off, Obama was elected to do a job. He's doing it!!! Secondly, it's amazing how short y'all's memories are. Not even 2 short years ago the worst president ever put into office was ruining our country. Did you people complain about him? No! Y'all would b---h if Mother Theresa had been elected, only because you didn't vote for her. Grow up and smell the roses. Y'all have got 7.... YES SEVEN MORE years to stay frustrated!

#13.1 fat bass tard on 06/25/10 at 09:23 PM

sorry, only 2.5 years for this fool

#13.1.1 I'm just sayin' on 06/26/10 at 03:58 PM

Did you miss some news this past month? There is now a minority majority--and we support President Obama. We also get to vote.

#13.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 06/27/10 at 06:41 AM

you really need to quit listening to the made up news from the networks. the 13 million illegal aliens don't get to vote.

#13.1.1.1.1 I'm just sayin' on 06/27/10 at 08:38 PM

Sounds to me like you listen to Fox News--the ultimate in made up news!

#13.1.2 Anonymous on 06/26/10 at 04:53 PM

If that many. Can you say resign in disgrace. Or Removed for cause.

#14 Sheila Tolley on 06/27/10 at 09:00 AM

obama's platform for 2012:

i mexicanos amor. todos los mexicanos deben ser autorizados a circular en América y convertirse en ciudadanos legales y debe ser apoyado totalmente por los estadounidenses. nos robaron texas de ellos para que se merecen a la estadounidense. todos los estadounidenses deben convertirse en esclavos mexicanos. Esto es lo que mi siguiente cambio será ... vote por mí en 2012.
firmado,
Barack y Michelle Obama

#14.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/28/10 at 07:41 AM

English Translation:
Obama' s platform for 2012:

I love Mexicans. All the Mexicans should be authorized to circulate in America and to become legal citizens. They should be supported completely by the Americans. They stole Texas from them so they deserve to own America. All the Americans should become Mexican slaves. This is what my new change will be... vote for me in 2012. Signed, Barack and Michelle Obama

#15 Sheila Tolley on 06/27/10 at 09:02 AM

The General is saying, "Who are you and what are you smoking? If you touch my ribbons I will smack you back to Kenya!"

#16 Sheila Tolley on 06/27/10 at 09:05 AM

obama is asking, "General, do water and oil mix?"

#17 Sheila Tolley on 07/01/10 at 09:48 AM

I think obama is going to have major problems now with the Afgan war. Gen. McCrystal was one of the very few military officers that actually voted for obama. He was so liberal that he would turn off the Fox News channel in his offices despite the desire of the troops to listen only to that channel. I believe once he completes his retirement process he will start showing up on the talk shows (probably MSNBC since it is the defacto voice for the left and Obama agenda). His comments about obama as a leader and commander-in-chief will be very damaging to obama as we approach 2012. If the Repubs win big this November and take control of at least one house of Congress (probably the House), don't be too surprised if you see a mass exit from the Dems holding high political posts. One of the first I think will be Hillary Clinton who will see blood in the water and an opportunity to gain the nomination in 2012. If you listen to Bill Clinton in recent days, it sure sounds like he is already laying the groundwork with his negative comments regarding how obama has handled the BP disaster and his recent endorsement of the Senate candidate in Colorado who is fighting obama' s choice of Bennett. It is going to get really ugly after November.By the way, obama opposed the surge in Iraq and really went after Gen. Peteaus at that time. Now he is banking on him to save his skin in 2012. Pateaus is thinking about running for office after he retires from the military. One way to keep your enemies far away is to send him to Afgan. But if Pateaus is able to accomplish the mission in the next 12 months, he will be the most popular person on the public scene. Sort of like Eisenhower was after WW II. Watch this closely. obama made a fatal mistake in selecting him. There is an old saying that you never hire someone you can't fire. Well, can you imagine the public uproar if he fired Pateaus? He has already fired two Afgan commanders. Three strikes and you are out!! Bye, bye obammy....put the golf clubs back in place before you leave and ask michelle to put Jacqueline's string of pearls back where she found them. She never had enough class to wear them.
