Is this just proof that President Bush was right all along?

Question

Obama fired Petraeus who was President Bush pick and replaced him with Gen McChrystal. But after McChrystal called Obama a bungling fool in Rolling Stone magazine Obama fired McChrystal re-hired Petraeus even though Obama used to bad mouth Petraeus. Hmmmm...sounds like Obama is admitting Bush was right all along!

Answer 1

YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR RIGHT!

Answer 2

Petraeus was not fired, but promoted to Commander in the region, coordinating and overseeing both Iraq and Afghanistan. However, McChrystal was fired because it is standard procedure that the military does not publicly criticize the sitting President/Commander-in-Chief. It happened when President Truman relieved General MacArthur in Korea during the Korean War.



Petraeus is actually a good commander, and his journey took him from Iraq, to general command to Afghanistan now, though he is still in the position of General commander over the two wars. Petraeus was unfortunately attached to many of the poor policies of the Bush Administration, so he needed to be taken out of the limelight for some time.

Answer 3

And what exactly did Obama say to badmouth Patraeus? You could even argue that Bush was right all along about Bill Gates considering Obama kept him on as Secretary of Defense. You are so misinformed on so many levels. First off I'd like to say that stating that this means Bush was right all along is a very ambiguous remark. Right all along about Patraeus? Sure, who cares. In fact Obama never fired Patraeus. If you were paying any attention Patraeus was McChrystal's boss and essentially commanded both wars in Afghanistan and Iraq from an executive position. Obama has somewhat demoted Patraeus by having him take over the Afghan war. Not so much a demotion of course, but it is a step down, because he is the best man for the job. Your unfounded, ad hominim attacks are baseless and boring.

Answer 4

properly, the certainty that republicans are viciously in seek of even the smallest shred of a preparation that should element out that Obama is a Muslim is a particularly pathetic practice. it would be insinuating that being Muslim is a foul element, and could make our president worse of a frontrunner and a individual because of the fact of it. i recommend beneficial, the certainty that he's a member of a christian church, does no longer pray 6 situations an afternoon like a Muslim, eats beef and attended a muslim based college in indonesia probably because of the fact it became into the final sort of preparation skill no longer something. you dont could desire to be catholic to flow to a catholic college, you decide on for a stable preparation- what might realistically make going to a madrassa any worse? because of the fact its muslim? so, that immediately skill its evil and corrupted our president previous reconcile. run away- diverse perspectives of the international are at artwork! we are all going to die!!!!!!

Answer 5

How is Petraeus going to work with Sec of State Hillary Clinton who said that everything he said about Iraq (which was true at that time and has proven to be true) defies belief?

Answer 6

Oh are we talking about Afghanistan? That war that Bush started 9 years ago then abandoned so he could go WMD hunting in Iraq?



So how did that hunt go? Was Bush right about the WMD's? How about insurgency? Did Bush get that right?



LOL

Answer 7

McChrystal was right and so was Bush.

Answer 8

Oil slick Barry is too confused to run the war so he slapped Bush's general on the job. When you have golfed 39 full tee times in 18 months all you need is subordinates who suck up and stay on the party line. Americans, we are not going to win the war in Afghanistan because it is not a war. We are trying to convert tribal peoples over to democracy, even though they don't want it. If this was a "real" war we already won it. I don't want to forfeit any more young or old American lives to this ill conceived conflict. I believe the Iraq war needed to happen because Saddam broke all of the cease fire agreements over, and over again, and didn't allow weapons inspectors in to verify WMD.

Answer 9

Nope. Nothing could prove that falsehood.



I don't want to pay for death and suffering with my tax money. Plus I don't want my money going to pay the Taliban. I'd just as soon they bring all the troops home tomorrow. Nobody has ever won in Afghanistan, and neither will we. We're just wasting money and lives for nothing.
