Preempted The Donald

US military takes out UBL!!!

What would they be saying if Bush had gone into Pakistan without permission to take out bin Ladin?

Lack of understanding

Posted on a local lefty blog:

Obama acted properly in accepting McChrystal's resignation, but I wish that he had been able to avoid an incident like this, making the resignation unnecessary. McChrystal, for all of his problems - and there have been many - is an amazing man, a dedicated and brave soldier, and a tremendous asset to our country. We have all lost something important with this failure. All of us have; McChrystal, Obama, the members of our armed forces, our allies, our country .

That dog won't hunt.

This left wing liberal, the Peevish Boy's better half, doesn't seem to understand the situation.

McChrystal did not resign from the army. He resigned his position as commander of US forces in Afghanistan. He is still a four star general. He is being replaced by an at least as qualified four star general.

But I still have one open question for the liberals;
will you still call him General Betrayus?

Barack Trump: You're fired! Bring on Betrayus?

OK, Gen. Stanley McChrystal should have kept some of his views to himself IF he really wants to keep his job.

Many generals have been fired over the years.

Undermining the CIC is wrong, regardless of what party is in the WH and regardless of the truth of the matter.

But the question now comes down to the ego of Obama.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal is an outstanding leader.
Obama has an outstanding ego.

Will Obama try to copy The Donald? Of course. His ego demands it. He can't hide his anger.

And what did Biden say about General Petraeus: "dead flat wrong"

The Dogs of War

Combat dogs take to the skies for secret missions in Afghanistan

Two members of the Austrian special forces join Nato’s Operation Cold Response, one of Europe’s biggest military exercises, in Narvik, Norway.

Dropping from 10,000ft, they glide in order to land unnoticed. The dogs often carry cameras and are trained to attack anyone carrying a weapon.

“Dogs don’t perceive height difference, so that doesn’t worry them. They’re more likely to be bothered by the roar of the engines, but once we’re on the way down, that doesn’t matter and they just enjoy the view,” said the dog handler. “It’s something he does a lot. He has a much cooler head than most recruits.”

Commandos from 14 countries, including British special forces and Royal Marines, took part in the Nato exercise. The use of dogs in High Altitude High Opening missions was pioneered by America’s Delta Force, which trained the animals to breathe through oxygen masks during the jump.
