Bummer…

Well, I guess it was naive of me to hope for something so incredibly awesome.  General Mattis got passed over for the Afghanistan job.  Of course, had he been picked, the war would have been over in about 14 seconds, and Obama would’ve claimed all the credit anyway.

No, instead, Captain Terrific chose the same guy he called a liar when he was a lowly U.S. Senator from Illinois.  He chose to send General Petraus to Afghanistan.  This is what Mr. Wonderful’s Official Fan Club over at moveon.org used to think about General Petraus.  Remember this little gem?  It seems like only yesterday…

GENERAL PETRAEUS OR
GENERAL BETRAY US?

It is amazing what good leadership can do.  Under Bush, this guy was a war criminal.  Under Obama, he is a hero.  And all it took was the President becoming a liberal democrat, just like the media.  Wow.

Fantasy Pick to Replace McChrystal

Okay.  So Obama may not even fire the good General for his hilarious (and entirely accurate) digs on Vice President Biden, et al., but if he does, my vote for his replacement goes overwhelmingly to this guy.

General James Mattis, USMC

Of course, picking him would indicate that Obama actually wants to win the war in Afghanistan, and I don’t really think that he does.

Why do I like General Mattis so much?  I think I can put it best by using his own words. 

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling."

God bless you, sir.  Chesty Puller would be proud.  Semper Fidelis.
