Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock'N'Roll General

Does anyone remember in 2003 or 2004 when John Kerry got interviewed in Rolling Stone and said George Bush was "fucking dumb"; or something like that? He also talked about his motorcycle and his leather jacket collection and generally made an ass out of himself. That's all I could think of when I woke up today and read that Stanley McChrystal was summoned to Washington to get yelled at because his aide said "fuck" and basically everyone involved with high level decisions in Afghanistan made asses out of themselves. Don't these guys know we have a trillion dollars of resources to secure a commitment to a democratic Afghanistan?

I haven't had the chance to read the actual McChrystal profile yet, but I did get to read all the juicy pull quotes and I have to say I'm truly disappointed. These people are supposed to be our hardest and meanest killing machines and their idea of a burn is turning "Biden" into "bite me." I get through more creative insults after two hours of selling fish heads then these guys do after looking death in the face every day. Well, I guess McChrystal does but his aides don't, which would explain why one of them called a dinner with a French minister "fucking gay." Send that guy on more night time raids until he learns how to call people, I dunno, "mutant, dog screwing fuckfaces."

The only truly unfortunate aspect of the entire article, again, from my perspective of not having had time to read it, is apparently that Team McChrystal America (seriously?) said Barack Obama was intimidated at a meeting of big shot generals. We have to stop playing these games pretending like liberal presidents don't kill foreign people with weird names. I know that between 1980 and 2008 we had one Democratic president, but he bombed the shit out of people with names we couldn't pronounce just as well as his Republican counterparts. Maybe even better. Doesn't anyone remember Behind Enemy Lines?



Shit, no, wait.



Damn that looks more awesome than I remembered. Netflix'd!

So let's drop this idea that Barack Obama isn't committed to continuing the war in Afghanistan. He's said he is a million times AND he sent 30,000 troops there. The skies of Afghanistan are still populated by killing machines that are basically flying Terminators. Rand Paul is more radical on the military-industrial complex than Obama, so let's PLEASE stop acting like mainstream Democrats are uncomfortable with war.
