WMR: Did McChrystal want to be fired?

July 9-11, 2010

July 9-11, 2010 -- Did McChystal fire himself?

WMR has learned from U.S. intelligence sources that General Stanley McChrystal, the former commander of the International Security Assistance Force for Afghanistan and the Commander of US Forces in Afghanistan, purpsoely mader impertinent remarks about Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden, National Security Adviser James Jones, and US Special Envoy to Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke so he would be fired.

McChrystal knew exactly what he was doing when he criticized his senior chain-of-command.

Like McChrystal, former US Central Command commander, Admiral William Fallon was fired after an interview was published in Esquirer magazine stating that he opposed the Bush administration's plans to attack Iran and that he was the only person standing in the way of such action.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates forced Fallon to resign and retire, just as he did with McChystal.

Seeing that Fallon got out from under a disastrous policy by giving an interview to Esquirer, McChrystal and his staff gave the green light for the Rolling Stone interview, knowing what the ultimate outcome would be. In an ironic situation, both Fallon and McChrystal were replaced by General David Petraeus, the neocons' favorite general.

Petraeus is an arm chair general who has spent more time in neocon think tanks being politically indoctrinated on U.S. global control than on the battlefield with the war fighters.

In March 2007, Fallon called Petraeus, his Iraq commander, "an ass kissing little chicken shit" to his face, adding, "I hate people like that," according to IPS News. The Esquirer interview came in December 2007, with the interview appearing in March 2008.

Whether it was Fallon calling Petraeus a "chicken shit" or McChrystal calling Jones a "clown," the results were the same: both were forced to retire and it was Gates who wielded the mighty Pentagon ax.

The next flag rank officer to fall on his sword may be Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen, who is also known to be opposed to any military attack on Iran.

Although he has been careful to make nice publicly with the Israelis, Mullen told the Israeli military leadership in July 2008 not to launch a "USS Liberty Part II" to provoke a US-led war against Iran.

The Israelis attacked the US Navy intelligence collection ship, USS Liberty, during the 1967 Six Day War in what some believe was a "false flag" attack designed to pin the blame for the attack on Egypt.

After that ploy failed, Israel and its supporters in the Lyndon Johnson administration launched a major cover-up, one that exists to this day.
