McChrystal Clear
Yep, if I sat around with my staff yakking to a reporter from an international rock n’ roll editorial, snacking on the crudite platter and trash-talking my boss and various high ranking colleagues, I’d be out of a job, too. Motive? Hard to say. Maybe he was tired and ready to come home but couldn’t figure how to do it and wouldn’t consider shooting off a few toes. So he put the whole foot in his mouth and headed for the door.
And for the first time since Obama was elected President we have a nation united. People on both sides of the aisle applauding the quick, decisive move made by a man who is finding it hard to please any of the people any of the time.
Though I feel the pain of the McChrystal family, they have no one to blame but the General himself. The rest of us should take a moment to revel in this rare moment of national solidarity. It will surely be brief and we’ll need to remember the taste.
