When Stanley Met Barry, Part Two
Part One of this very mini miniseries dealt with the firing of General Stanley McChrystal, America's head honcho in the Afghanistan War, and the contention that his and his aides' remarks in a Rolling Stone article reflected immaturity and poor judgement.
Okay... a general 8 years Obama's senior on the field of battle made immature comments that reflected poor judgement on a president whose chief pre-political experience was serving as a neighborhood organizer on the Chicago front.
Whatevah!
But the general was summoned to an audience with the president, a meeting that promised to be a dressing down for his impertinence, a summons from the boss he could not ignore.
We are privileged to be the only source privy to the stream of consciousness thoughts of General McChrystal as he winged the miles from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan to Obama's air base in D.C.
We are also privy, via sources that cannot be revealed, to the dialogue between McChrystal and Obama in the White House on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010.

The Journey Thoughts: i really don't get what this is all about immature and poor judgement my ass maybe it would have been best to say nothing to Rolling Stone and to order my aides muzzled but, hell, it was all the truth this sad excuse for a commander-in-chief all but shat his pants when we first met, and he didn't even know who I was just what we need during a war an indecisive carter-type who is probably also scared of rabbits i know what he's pissed about and it's not what was said about that twit biden or about eichenberry or holbrooke he was pissed cuz he knew I had no respect for him but that shouldn't be a surprise no one else in the military respects him either ok cept for the blacks but even they have their doubts and when they're getting their asses shot off in Kandahar because of these screwy rules of engagement they'll change their minds i just wish this was all over with i hate sucking up but i guess i'll have to to keep my job damn i lead a good clean life and lead my men with dignity and respect hey i run 8 miles a day sleep 4 and eat one meal a day don't drink don't smoke i'm almost 56 years old and he's not even 48 and he's never served i really don't need this i wonder how this pseudo president conducts his life damn i hate flying i need some sleep...
