I can’t believe nobody has guessed what went down. Do you think Stanley McCrystal would do something so stupid and irresponsible like an interview with a magazine who’s had Keith Richards stoned out of his mind on the cover? Puuuleezzz! This was a sacrifice fly. He took one for the team. He knew old yellow wouldn’t give him what he wanted when it came to troops , rules of engagement or the very fuzzy pull out date. So he decided to fall on his sword knowing full well President empty suit would have no choice but to fire him. Without “Stan the Man” Barry had only one viable option. Betray Us. That’s what Barry used to call him when he was a Senator for about ten minutes in between campaign breaks.General David Petraeus. The Iraqi commander who pulled it together and made an impossible situation work against all the naysayers and one in particular Senator Barak Obama. Now for 30 seconds Obama looks like he’s finally grown a set only to realize he got caught by the oldest trick in the ring. The Rope a Dope. Except this isn’t going to last 8 rounds like the Rumble in the Jungle did. This costly move to him personally will forever haunt him. The General has got him by the short hairs. Whatever the General wants the General gets or else he walks…then what happens? Complete chaos and panic. Taliban is rejuvenated tribal leaders are terrified the troops in harms way are left totally without leadership which equals certain death and the entire nation and our allies blame the O-man. This will make the spill in the Gulf look like a leaky faucet. 

Petraeus will get the glory as long as Obama does what he is told but to me it was that brave soldier whom I’ll never forget Stanely McCrystal his unselfishness and his love of country makes me proud as Hell to be an American.
