Please tell me I'm crazy....RE: McChrystal reappearing

[mod mom]

The GOP can't find a candidate that they can rally around and who appears on the horizon but Stanley McCrystal. Please tell me that no way will this guy be their candidate.

1. I haven't heard anything about the GOP enlisting McCrystal...and it makes no sense.

McCrystal is a liberal.

3. A liberal? Didn't you read the RollingStone interview he gave? Are you aware of his role

In the Pat Tilman cover-up?

5. I'm aware of the interview but McCrystal is a liberal.

A liberal who voted for President Obama.

2. Never heard of him. nt

4. The GOP has someone waiting in the wings

Someone they can pull out last minute to minimize the exposure.

Who it is going to be is difficult to determine as they are good ad deception. But I expect that at the very last possible moment they will pull someone from nowhere and put them in the spot.

What we see now from Palin, Christie, Romney and Perry is all dog and pony show to keep the talking heads and us diverted from whatever it is they really have planned.

Remember, Rove is back there somewhere pulling the puppet strings.

6. Hmm-he reappears & makes it painfully clear BushCo hadn't a clue in the run up to Afghanistan. . .

then compounds the criticism - in the same interview - by declaring the present administration equally clueless for how to extract us from Afquagmirestan.

His comment, in fact, is that the US "didn't know enough and . . . still (doesn't) know enough," and in fact, "had a very superficial understanding of the situation and history, and . . . had a frighteningly simplistic view of recent history, the last 50 years."

I won't dispute McChrystal's analysis. His comments today merely echo what so many of us said ten years ago. But I would be curious to know, precisely whom do you expect will want McChrystal as their candidate -- the party he called "frighteningly simplistic" or the party he says now "lacks (the) knowledge" to resolve one of the nation's intractable problems.

I'm especially interested to know who you think will want him as their frontman, especially as he lumps himself with both ends of the catrastrophuck.
