1. So he turned in his resignation.

At least he had enough class to do that.

12. I undertstand their meeting lasted twenty minutes--of course it was a formality
Edited on Wed Jun-23-10 07:16 PM by rocktivity
If McChrystal truly is any kind of an officer and a gentleman, he walked in with his resignation letter written, signed, and ready to hand to his ex-CIC-to-be!

8. So, when do you think
they called Petreus? Was it like the call up from the minors? Get on the plane -- now!

Speaking of the minors, Jeff Loria, the Marlins owner, fired Fredi Gonzalez and two other coaches today. Keith tweeted that he was his friend, but I'm sorry, Keith. I'm glad to see him go. Let's go Fish!

11. Actually, I think they called Petreus down from the majors,
since he was actually McChrystal's boss, I believe.

14. Is CentCom over Afghanistan?
I think he has to give up the CentCom job, right? Maybe I should just not be lazy and look this all up. :)

19. Okay, I just did a quick peak at CENTCOM info, and it looks
like he's over a lot of military operations in about 20 countries, with a lot of focus on Iraq. There is some mention of Afghanistan too.

Here's the Wiki link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Petraeus

There is a heading specifically for CENTCOM in the link.

24. Oops
Your research also shows I misspelled his name. Sorry, General. :blush:

Thanks, I'll read this later. It looks like their focus is the rebuilding and humanitarian aspects of the military. I'm woefully ignorant about the military, I admit it. But I do like the shiny medals and stars and pretty color ribbons.

It's been over nine hours on this one set alone -- over two days. Wow. My legs feel like Jell-o thinking about that. When do they pee?

25. Hi Patsy!!! We're good.
You know, Rob would have been over there working Wimbledon. I miss getting the inside scoop on what's going on in sports. I know he would have had lots to say about the Isner-Mahut match.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

30. I'm OK.
There's just a TON of sports stories this year that I would have loved to get his read on (Ernie Harwell, Tiger's women, the perfect game that wasn't, doing brackets on March Madness and this epic match). Oh well. I'll keep watching.

36. Oh my goodness! That beard on Keith!
Too damn funny!

You know: they're sort of like a 60s group. They look good, and they sound okay, but you know they didn't write the stuff they're saying.

39. He looks like he should have
owned a 70s conversion van -- with a miniblind on that one big brown tinted side window.
