JOKE
U.S. Military's Revolving Generals & Endless Campaigns
of Chaos
New
commander-in-chief, same old crap; the United States
Armed Forces is in chaos. Already recovering from decades
of abysmal derailments and disasters in Korea and Viet
Nam to ill-fated underground black-ops from Cuba to
Nicaragua to Beirut, and the latest nonsense begun by
the dumbly-fabricated braggadocio of Desert Storm and
its baby brother in the half-assed colonizing of Iraq
to the longest running campaign in American history
in Afghanistan, the once proudly invincible U.S. military
has now become our longest running pun.
Less
than two days after a freelance journalist coerced the
commander of international forces in Afghanistan to
commit professional suicide in the pages of whatever
cheap imitation of pop culture schlock is now Rolling
Stone magazine, President Barack Obama was forced to
relieve General Stanley McChrystal of his duties. At
least the disgraced and quite obviously half-mad general
will no longer have to face the embarrassing possibility
of retiring during what started out nine years ago as
a vengeance jag for 9/11 and to bag its architect, the
long-dead Osama bin Laden, but after the loss of 1,000
American lives and a projected cost of $1 trillion has
become something of its own tragic comedy.
For
the president, embroiled in a half dozen looming and
already raging domestic disasters, it is bad timing
to say the least. This is Obama's war, and McChrystal
is his man, or was his man, as the swift half-hour
White House meeting of 6/23 would attest, the substance
of which had the insubordinate general out and the hero
of overdue mop-ups, General David Petraeus in. Later
that afternoon, a visibly angered president took to
the Rose Garden and tried his best to gloss over what
has been an overlooked sinkhole of his administration
-- long debated and dissented by close advisers.
