I can't understand Adm. Mike Mullen. His little McChrystal made me sick remark was nothing more that an Obama butt kissing tour.

I now include him in the group of political jokes and a** kissers.

many political observers think that general petraeus had the best chance of all the republicans to beat Obama in 2012....Obama is smart to place him in this position, because now he definitely wont run

This is a demotion for Petraeus. Obama chose him for several reasons, I dont think worring about Petraeus running against him was one of them.

If he was going to run in 2012 he wouldn't have taken that job.

McChrystal deserved to "resign" years ago when it was proved that he lied about the circumstances of Pat Tilman's death. He lied to Tilman's family and this country for political gain and to keep support for a war that should never have waged. America deserves better.
