From the Washington Times:
"I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video
teleconferece]," Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a
television interview that aired Sunday.
"You’ve talked to him once in 70
days?" Mr. Martin followed up.
"That is correct," the general replied.
Gen. McChrystal must understand that President Obama is a very busy man and his time is stretched seriously thin.He needs to understand that the president's precious time is needed elsewhere.
Obama's time has been needed to saturate the liberal media establishment to push a health care plan,that the polls continue to prove we do not want.Then they was the "Beer Summit",where his presence was much needed to resolve a local issue that he helped create.Also his presence was needed at the U.N.,becuase as we all know what would we do without the U.N.By the way who is Gen. Stanely McChrystal compared to the dictators and tyrants of the World.And not to forget,the president must whisk away to Denmark and save the day and secure the Olympics for Chicago,that the people of that city are not that all crazy about.
The president hasn't forgotten about Afghanistan,not in the least.He has been talking to retired Gen.Colin Powell and seeking his and others advice on exactly what to do there next.Now what exactly could Gen. Stanley McChrystal,the U.S. commander in Afghanistan,possibly tell the president that retired Gen. Colin Powell couldn't.Come on Gen.McChrystal,all you have to draw upon is your knowledge of the situation being the commander on the ground and your expertise in counter-insurgency from Iraq.What is that compared to retired Gen. Powell and all his Washington connections?
All we need to remember is that President Obama has his eye on the ball when it comes to Afghanistan.
If any one believes that,then I may have some waterfront property in Arizona you just might be interested in.
