The Runaway General in a Runaway War

Even those closest to McChrystal know that the rising anti-war sentiment at home doesn't begin to reflect how deeply fucked up things are in Afghanistan.

Read the entire article "The Runaway General"  here.




Let's get this out upfront.

War is run by deception and by lies. The media, including Rolling Stone, will only give us some truths while muddying the waters on the rest of the story.

This 'ambush' of McChrystal reeks of diversion and deception. Not he doesn't deserve to be ambushed. Remember, he was the guy who headed the cover up of  the assassination of Pat Tillman. He covered for war crimes of the Bush administration while involving himself in others right up to the present.


Obama is 'angry' and calls McChrystal to the White House for some 'splainin to do.'

President Obama reacted angrily to derogatory comments by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, about administration officials involved in Afghan policy and is leaving his options open about firing him, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.

Gibbs described Obama as "angry" after reading about McChrystal's comments in a Rolling Stone magazine profile.

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Tuesday that McChrystal "made a significant mistake and exercised poor judgment" in making the dismissive remarks to a reporter for the magazine.

McChrystal has been summoned to Washington to explain highly critical comments by him and his staff about Vice President Biden, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl W. Eikenberry and other top Obama administration officials.{more}

Games and more games. The conservative cost of wars since 2001 has topped $1 trillion. The cost in lives of the U.S. and its allies and those of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. are well over 1 million but no one is really counting.

Rolling Stone got one thing right. Afghanistan is deeply fucked up. They leave out the part about how fucked up Obama, McChrystal and the rest of the war mongering liars are, at least for 99.9% of the world. They also don't touch upon the criminal state of Israel or an objective analysis of 9/11. No need to wonder why that is. It's the same old who owns the media tale.


Anyway, now that this story is out in the open, let's move on to something more interesting to the majority of sleep walking Americans. Like Lady Gaga bares her heart ... eh Rolling Stone. 

McChrystal should buy a bunch of copies of the latest issue for his troops.
