A Difference of Coverage

   Does ‘anyone’ remember the way the press covered General Shinseki’s differences with President Bush as opposed to General McChrystal’s differences with President Obama?

   Just tapping my memory banks, I do believe Shinseki was portrayed as a great leader to have the courage blah blah blah. McChrystal?  He’s a bum.

   For the record, I’ve said from the beginning McChrystal has to go.  One just can’t do what he’s done… that being said, The President may keep him on board to oversee the withdrawal of Afghanistan.  You do remember the deadline doncha?  That deadline, in my humble opinion is the origin of the disagreement between Mr. Obama and the general.
