    Yep; Obama Bow's down to Musulim nations.
    And Gen. McChrystal knew bowing down is below a general.
    Maybe he should run for President.
    Just the way I see it.

    Oh and he doese not mind wearing an American Flag on his suite either.
    Yep the United states needs to give better incentive to keep these big companies from leaveing.
    Either that or don't let them do bussines in the USA.
    Just like Gores Catchup companies, most of which were outside the US.
    Less Import and more export, and stop giving aid to all these countries that want
    to kill us or don't like us. Let some one else police the rest of the world.

    What do you think would happen if you were to dis your companies CEO to a large magazine and mention that his aid is a clown? being a second offence, would you expect to be fired? On many different levels it's important to maintain unity.... if you disagree with the boss you need to hold your tong. if you can't do that then you have the option, and obligation, to quit your job. If quitting your job becomes your choice then you shouldn't expect to eat at the company picnic and receive a Christmas bonus.... but apparently some here feel they should??

    And from an evening out with the "little" woman:

    General McChrystal did no wrong as far as I can find. He had some aides that spoke some "trash" when a lib media person was able to catch some good bored soldier talk. That writer from Rolling Stone Rag - may have a short career. Unfortunately for the Genereal - he was the boss and that's where the buck stops. He and his aides will be most likely counting snowshoes in Nome, Alaska if they are even able to stay in the military

    As much as I dislike Obama's politics and self serving approach, as well as his apparent un-AMerican actions, it is a soldier's duty to obey orders and to support the commander in chief. That is a basic rule of the military. He has the right to speak out only after he leaves the service. He broke a cardinal rule.

    Joke! The Prez has the thinnest skin I've ever seen. He has the worst polices I've ever seen as well!

    I can agree with that, but I'm sure proud that McChrystal had the guts to expose the jerks. Lest we forget, a commander's first and foremost duty is the welfare of the men he commands.

    With 24 years military service, and rank of Chief Master Sergeant (E9) I have known a few generals. Most have had great concern for the people serving under them and respect for the people above them. One of the rules all military men and women must observe is respect for their superiors, the position if not the person. I have also learned that you have an obligation to speak up to your superiors if you disagree with them. This should be done in confidence, if after listening to you, your superiors choose a different path, legal of course, then you are obligated to make their decision your decision. You do not run them down in public nor to your troops. If you are not willing to do that, then you need to find a new job. Whether he was right or wrong, Gen McChrystal screwed up by saying what he did in public and really gave the president no choice.

    Pat
    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    what exactly did he "expose"? he exposed nothing except that he had total disregard for his duty as an officer.
