#1 Congress will have to have their face time in committee hearings over this. If McChrystal is summoned to Washington, it should be very interesting. Is our Commander is Chief a bit indecisive? He has had McChrystal's report for a month. For God's sake put the report on the teleprompter.

#2 The worst thing is that his indecision encourages the Taliban and Al Qaeda. He doesn't seem to understand the mentality of these people. Showing weakness is like giving blood to sharks.

#3 David Letterman, basketball, golf and numerous TV appearances. Amazing. Our soldiers are putting their lives on the line and many have given their lives and what do they get? A commander in chief who is a community organizer. As a community organizer you would think he would organize something.

#7 As a community organizer you would think he would organize something.

Community organizers create demonstrations. What do demonstrators do? They stand around and spout slogans. As America's community organizer, Ogabe has done a pretty good job, if his objective is defined as getting people to stand around and spout slogans.
