Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal and the inconvenient truth about “Mission Impossible”
http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/mcchrystal-spoke-truth-to-power.html
Jun 23, 2010 ... President Barack Obama stripped Army General Stanley McChrystal of his command of US troops in Afghanistan for making disparaging remarks ... Gee, one may only imagine that journalists will have great access to the military now – maybe not…
What we are left with is a mixed bag.
Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal got into trouble with the president and the leadership of the Democrat Party because he publicly said what many in the military and foreign policy development and execution have been saying privately for over a year.
The president had no choice but to relieve him of command.
Of course if Gen. McChrystal had uttered such observations during the Bush Administration, there would no end to the praise adulation from the very same Democrat leaders.
In the parlance of those on the left: McChrystal spoke truth to power.
McChrystal out; Petraeus picked for Afghanistan - Yahoo! News
Jun 23, 2010 ... President Barack Obama ousted Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top US commander in Afghanistan on Wednesday, saying that his scathing ...
Would that be this General Betray Us? http://tinyurl.com/2f9atzy
Or this General Betray Us? McCain Asks When Clinton Will Apologize to Petraeus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXcXzoHjqhE&feature=related
Gee, I’m guessing that the appointment of General Petraeus requires a certain “suspension of disbelief.”
The Obama administration's attitude towards the military makes the Clinton administration's view look respectful...
That said, what McChrystal did was wrong. The military protects freedom of speech - it does not practice it.
Not to perseverate upon the issue, however, if the American public were to be aware of the increasingly - absolutely seething intellectual revolt of the American military over the military practices and policy of the Obama administration, it would make the alarm over the economy present like Romper Room.
If the traditional media continues to cover-up for the president, it will only add gasoline to the fire.
I have wanted to write about it; however, I usually avoid anonymous sources... (The most vocal are former Obama supporters.)
I have been observing the military closely since the late 1960s and I find the current unrest in the military unnerving.
The grunts on the frontline in Afghanistan call the war effort, “Mission Impossible.”
In spite of his extraordinary service as a black ops warrior, I have not been a McChrystal fan of the role he has played as the top military commander in Afghanistan.
However firing Gen. McChrystal for expressing the opinion of an increasingly large majority of military could precipitate an even bigger crisis.
How the president handles this current matter is critical. To paraphrase someone wiser: “The inconvenient truth is that when it comes to the substance of his criticism, most in the military think McChrystal ‘was right.’”
While we are attempting to sort it all out, be sure to read the Baltimore Reporter’s June 23, 2010 post: Obama’s Rules of Engagement In Afghanistan Will Ensure Our Failure (Filed under: General, bad foreign policy, Democratic weakness in Defense and the War on Terror) — Robert Farrow from Flopping Aces: The new rules of fighting a war….Obama style, via George F.

Carroll County Arts Center MEDIA RELEASE March 31, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, June 18, 2010, 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
The Carroll Arts Center is pleased to jump on the “go-green” bandwagon for its next exhibit. “Rejected to Perfected: Fine Art from Recyclables,” will be on view in the Tevis Gallery from June 10 through August 6.
Western Civilizations’ throw-away society had its beginnings in the Italian Renaissance when Humanist writers espoused facts that Mother Nature would constantly replenish her resources. The early 20th century Italian Futurist painter, Marinetti, wrote a manifest to the movement that applauded industrial pollution as proof that mankind was moving forward in a positive direction.
Enter the 21st century and industrialized nations are looking back, not to the Italian Renaissance or industry but to those countries, while appearing primitive, have been practicing sustainable living.
“Rejected to Perfected” will feature artists whose canvas and media are not purchased at the art store, whose pigment will not pollute water sources but bring awareness to the beauty and functionality that can be found in the landfill, recycle bins and dumpsters. These creative artists think out of the box. “Renew-Reuse-Recycle” is their artistic credo.
In addition, there will be a few other twists such as displaying the incredible bottle cap sculpture of “Starry Night” on loan from Finksburg Public Library, and we will be selling copies of “Do Martians Recycle” by Sharon Gribbon-Lindemon. The show has been generously sponsored by The Maryland Sustainable Living Fair.
Artists included in the show are:
Kevin Dayhoff, Westminster, MD. Kevin creates mixed media collages and sculptural forms using found objects and recycling paper, magazines and newspaper.
Heather Hodge, Westminster, MD: Her repurposed creations have delighted Festival of Wreaths visitors. She has some surprises in store for this show.
Joy Miller, Port Deposit, MD: Joy transforms car and truck hoods and gas tanks into garden furniture. She adorns old windows with fused glass and considers the landfill as her answer to the commercial craft store.
Roger Miller, Taneytown, MD: Roger’s extraordinary “windmill wreath” was a crowd favorite during our recent Festival of Wreaths and we eagerly await his sculptural additions to this exhibits.
Beverly Reidinger, Myersville, MD: Beverly garnered awards with her recycled refrigerator doors at the National Building Museum in D.C.
Virginia Sperry, Eldersburg: Virginia has been using car parts such as water pumps and adorning them with polymer clay to create something very feminine and delicate. She will also exhibit her newest art form, posing the rejected object in a composition and creating photographs that give recyclables artistic dignity.
The Trashy Women Collective, Perryville, MD. This eclectic group creates everything from sculptural forms to wearables.
The public is invited to meet the artists at a celebration on Friday, June 18, 6:30-7:30 pm. Immediately following the reception will be a screening of the movie “Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau,” a lovely documentary chronicling Thoreau’s last few days at Walden Pond. Admission for the movie is $5.
The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street in downtown Westminster. Gallery admission is free. Hours are 10 am – 4 pm Monday – Saturday, 10 am – 8 pm on Thursdays. For more information, call 410/848-7272 or visit http://www.carrollcountyartscouncil.org/
