McCrystal - Pawn and hero.

Freepers are all over the map about Afghanistan. On the one hand, they are all about killing all Muslims. On the other, Obama's doin' it. But Freepers are nothing if not logically creative.

RabidBartender assume Obama's appointment of this guy who disagrees with him was a fluke:

If true, expect the affirmative action president to fire him and replace him with a Wesley Clark clone.

Overtaxed Patriot has visions of military coup dancing in his head:

Lets see. Zero has pissed off the CIA and the military. Not good to have those two entities as your enemy while you’re trying to destroy the country.

Old Sarge would rather NEVAR FORGET than dwell on the complications of the present:

Contrast this with Iraq in the fall of 2006. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was fired just one day after the elections in early November.

Never forgot that - Red Nancy meets with Bush and tells him, 'You have 48 hours to fire Rummy or the impeachment starts', and Rumsfeld is gone in 24 hours.

Well, at least it's not World War 2.

MinuteGal thinks it's all a plot:

Maobama has been dragging his heels so his operatives can stir up anti-war sentiment across the country which effectively created our loss is Viet Nam.....not our brave military.

I fully expected the Commander-in-Chaos to have arranged for riots on the Berkeley campus by now. Except, hah, McChrystal has pre-empted Hussein's foul plans and nipped them in the bud.

MacArthur, McChrystal.....I think I'll have a Big Mac in their honor for dinner tonight!

teddyballgame has a nuanced idea of tactics and outcomes:

“Would someone please tell me what victory in Afghanistan looks like?”

It looks like a lot of dead Al-Queda.

I’ve thought for some time now, that Obama is sending quiet beyond the scene messages to these terrorist regimes.

I’m thinking about the overt display of celebration at Ramadan and his taking vacation at that time.

I’m thinking about his approach to Hondurus and his putting pressure on Israel, in fact overt lack of support for Israel.

I’m looking at the drawing back of missile defense unilaterally. There was some deal made.. but we’ll see.

I’m looking at the people he has around him.

In summary, the message is clear to Muslims the world over. Like Ghadafi said, “Obama, is Muslim.”
