Quote Of The Year...

A picture, it is said, is worth a thousand words, but cannot a few well-spoken words convey as many pictures?

Can you tell that I have a penchant for adding quotes to this little bit of spit at the beginning of my posts? Sometimes quotes are snippets of wisdom, other times quotes are sarcastic and many times they hit the nail on the head of what many people are thinking yet reluctant to speak out loud. Read the above quote and ask yourself if it doesn't go hand in hand with the words below...

The General is a quick thinker..

President Obama was having that one, lone brief conversation this year with General McChrystal about Afghanistan .

Things were obviously not going the way the General had hoped. Obama could sense this, and told him, "I bet when I die, you'll piss on my grave."

To which General McChrystal answers, "No sir, I've always said that when I get out of the Army, I'll never again wait in another line."

Supposedly, General McChrystal made this remark in 2009 after having his first 'in country" conversation with the President. You remember the President had waffled on making his decision of what to do with American troops in Afghanistan months after General McChrystal had sent his assessment back to the States, don't you? Anyways... Who knows if this is true? Does anyone care?

So, I ask you... Does not that quote conjure up a mental picture after reading that? Yep, me too!! The line starts where?



And so it goes......
