He stands behind tax frauders (a health & human services secretary nominee, to boot) and yet so easily dismisses McChrystal.

You really don't distinguish between someone who owes back taxes and an active war field general who shows disrespect for the military chain of command and disregard for civilian authority over the military?

That link is 1.5 years old.

:\

(And the General, for disparaging in public his civilian chain of command, has been allowed to retire with all 4 stars. I'm sure he's not complaining as much as Obama's detractors are.)

One MacChrystal is worth 100 Obamas.

I don't believe the real "wabi" would have misspelled the general's name.

The American system is based on civilian control of the military. McChrystal chose to not respect this.

Generals who were his teachers at West Pointe pointed this out.
