People like Gates, Odierno and Petraeus are envisioning permanent garrisons in Iraq, Afghanistan, and who knows, maybe even Pakistan. McChrystal seems to share their view, as well as a history of running secret prisons, so I don't know that he will be too inclined to open his mouth and take part in the democratic process. These guys don't believe in the supremacy of civilian government over military affairs, one of the central tenets of our democracy. It seems like they already jerked Obama around a bit on the Iraq "withdrawal", floating word to the press that the partial withdrawal would take significantly longer than what Obama had publicly asked of them. My respect for Obama would go way up if he pulled a Truman and nuked Tehran... Oops, I mean if he pulled a Truman and called CENTCOM out like MacArthur on its projected plans for another 40-50 years of war in Central Asia.

Yep! Found Saddam in a hole in the ground, tried him and executed him all within less than a year of invading his country, but, for some strange reason we can't seem to find Bin Laden after more than 6 years! Coincidence? Far from it! The reason he hasn't been found is because he's good for Republican business! He helps them keep the fear alive in the simple minded sheep that follow them! Look out! It's the "boogyman" he could be right around the corner, better watch out, he's out to getcha!!!!!! He told us that himself in the 600 "secret" video tapes that nobody else knows about except us brave Republicans! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

What a bunch of morons. Lets get the general up to testify and find out exactly what the plans are. We should, in the interest of fairplay let them know exactly what our plans are so they can plan accordingly.

And these are the people we look to to run our country. My god – are we in trouble!!!

Today was the 70th anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland and today we the American people have given eastern Europe back to Russia by defunding the anti-missile defense initiative.

The real story is that McChrystal has asked for more troops, Obama said no, and they don't want the fact that the great pretender is overruling the advice from the senior commander on the ground to get out.

I will say it now, republicans. The reason we lost Vietnam is because of republicans asking for the military to share their thought process with retards, aka, republicans.

He has shared it with the smart people...the president and his boss's. Try not to kill our soldiers by having this man come down to fill you retards in. He kind of has more important things to worry about, like keeping our soldiers alive.

Republicans, always wanting to kill our soldiers.
