If McChrystal allowed a statement to be "wrangled" out of him, then part and parcel with that statement is McChrystal's willingness to go forward with executing a mission with an insufficient force, while pretending to have the tools to do the job.
Or he knows this is the best he'll get out of Obama, and he's willing to take a chance with this reduced force and try to annihilate the Taliban et al before Obama yanks them out of there. McChrystal is first and foremost a patriot, and he was getting smeared by the Dems while he was desperately calling for more troops. His statement could be viewed as a sacrifice he's making because he's going to give it one final try.
So you outright called him a liar and strongly implied that he is a traitor, since being a traitor is part and parcel with the nature of his alleged lie.
Nope, I didn't. You're still desperately trying to put words in my mouth.
But why stop, when it's so fun and we can return to this narrative you're peddling?
You're no different than the lefty douchebags that were calling Bush a psychopathic murderer and our soldiers terrorists. You're the opposite side of the same coin...blah blah blah
Right, criticism that Obama's heart isn't into this war and he was twiddling his thumbs(I'm sorry, 'thinking of a brilliant plan') while our soldiers were dying is EXACTLY like your ideological brethren incessantly vilifying the one man who had the balls to fight a war overseas while his character was being destroyed and eviscerated back home. Two sides of the same coin, indeed.
but I usually defended him as well from your leftwing, nutball, douchebag counterparts.
You
are a lefty. You're just quasi-conservative on military issues, and you somehow think this buys you credibility as an independent.
This isn't about timetables...
Yes, it is.
you hate someone because of the party label they carry before they ever take office and then opposing them on every issue, no matter what.
It's about the depths that you will go to and the logical leaps you will take in order to reinforce or justify your hateful arguments
I detest Marxist-Leninists and far-left liberals, which comprise most of the Democrat Party. They generally are wrong about everything, and not only are they wrong, they usually make things worse. There's a couple Dems who are somewhat independent, like Lieberman, although he got purged from the Party.
So chances are if there's a person with a D next to their name, they're gonna be spouting left to far-left propaganda and advocating far-left policies. It doesn't mean the Repubs are perfect, but there's a lot more diversity in their Party and they didn't initiate the same Gramscian/Alinskyite purge the New Left did, so they aren't as predictable.
When I find a far-left liberal who implements a good policy, I'll let you know. In the meantime, you can remain on your Bill O'Reilly pedestal, pretending to be independent, bemoaning the hyperpartisanship and lecturing others on their hate-derived, knee-jerk reflexive reactions and piously bloviating about how a slightly hawkish liberal is more qualified to judge Obama's surrender than any run-of-the-mill conservative.
