BRINGS GENERAL'S LONG CAREER TO AN END

It's happened again. A senior military officer in Afghanistan has been quoted in the media and fired as a result.
In June 2010, Obama suck-up, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, was bounced after some inappropriate remarks by him and his staff ended up in ROLLING STONE magazine.
Now, another flag officer, Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan, has been summarily dismissed and will be sent home, his military career over.
TELLING THE TRUTH COSTS GENERAL HIS CAREER
Fuller, unlike the bumbling McChrystal, has lost his job for telling the hard truth about our so-called "friend," Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The general fell on his sword, and he deserves a salute from every one of us fed up with the ungrateful and back-stabbing actions of the corrupt Afghan leader.
As quoted by POLITICO, a left-wing web site obsessed with trying to destroy the real threat to Obama's re-election, businessman Herman Cain, the general said what many Americans on the ground over there know to be true.
"If you're a very poor country like Afghanistan, you think that America has roads paved in gold, that everybody lives in Hollywood," Fuller said. "They don't understand or appreciate the sacrifices America is making to provide for their security . . ."
The two-star also labeled Karzai "erratic" and was critical of the Afghan boss for saying his country would side with Pakistan in any future war with the United States. "(He) is isolated from reality," Fuller said.
GEN. ALLEN FIRES FULLER
There is a price to be paid whenever a military leader speaks out and tells the truth in conflict with Washington's "official line." NATO commander, Gen. John Allen, lost no time in relieving Fuller for what he called "inappropriate public comments."
Perhaps those remarks could have been made to a more objective and respectable media outlet than POLITICO, but the truth in what Fuller revealed can and does stand on its own.
"These unfortunate comments and neither indicative of our current solid relationship with the government of Afghanistan, its leadership, or our joint commitment to prevail here in Afghanistan," Allen declared in an official statement.
"The Afghans are an honorable people. Comments such as these (by Gen. Fuller), will not keep us from accomplishing our most critical and shared mission - bringing about a stable, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan."
Allen has been certainly placed in an unenviable position politically, but judging from the words above, he knows how to keep from being the third U.S. commander in Afghanistan sacked since Hussein took over the White House.
