You are one of about 3 people who think that. Even righties like you are saying he had to can him. How do you have a team effort when one of the most impotant members had dissed the rest of the team? McChrystal said the war was at a standstill after Obama gave him everything he asked for. Who thinks that is a good sign?  
I suppose Fox Gnus might be saying it was a mistake. I can’t stand watching them. But i try to every now and then. Their stance would be strictly political to find a way to criticize Obama.

Just out of curiosity, what would you have thought if Obama had kept him on? :dubious:

All I have to say about this thread is that we should all take a moment to reflect on what a silly, craven, partisan bitch Bricker is.

Also Clothahump is an angry, confused old man in a karate gi. That’s all.
