I feel the way Harry Reid felt about the resignation of Admiral William J. Fallon, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East.
Here was Sen. Harry Reid's statement:
"I am concerned that the resignation of Admiral William J. Fallon, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East and a military leader with more than three decades of command experience, is yet another example that independence and the frank, open airing of experts' views are not welcomed in this Administration.
Just substitute Admiral William J. Fallon with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
