Fire General McChrystal!
General McChrystal has shown great disdain towards President Obama in the past when he questioned his military strategy in a speech he gave in London.But this time,it's worse.He has really disparaged the president this time.
White House Press secretary,Robert Gibbs, said that McChrystal made an "enormous mistake" when he let Rolling Stone magazine do a profile of him.In that expose,Gen. McChrystal dissed many in the Obama administration.And now he may have to tender his resignation because of those remarks.
If he doesn't resign,President Obama should fire Gen.McChrystal.
Here's more from The Huffington Post:
"For insubordination, for disrespecting the Office of the President of the United States and for allowing derision of the White House among his staff, General Stanley McChrystal must resign.
McChrystal has been summoned from Afghanistan to explain derisive comments and insubordination detailed in a new Rolling Stone article by Michael Hastings. As detailed in the article, the general and his staff were clearly disrespectful of the office of the president, as well as contemptuous of the civilian leadership of our country. McChrystal's behavior and his toleration of similar behavior from his staff breeds an attitude of contempt for civilian leadership among his officers, and no Commander-in-Chief should tolerate it. McChrystal should resign, and the president should accept his resignation.
In the article, McChrystal and his aides heap derision on National Security Advisor Jim Jones (a "clown,"), Vice President Joe Biden ("Bite me,"), and the President of the United States, Barack Obama.
When shown the article prior to it's publication, McChrystal didn't push back:
Eric Bates, the magazine's editor, said during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that McChrystal saw the piece prior to its publication as part of Rolling Stone's standard fact-checking process - and that the general did not object to or dispute any of the reporting."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.
