Afghan General: “Obama and I have spoken once in 6 months” *update* Video: Senator responds

Wow…

Bush would speak with his generals in Iraq ONCE A WEEK, and sometimes everyday.

I distinctly remember Obama talking about how the Afghan war was being “overlooked” by the Bush administration.

Washington Times

The military general credited for capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq says he has only spoken to President Obama once since taking command of Afghanistan.

“I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconference],” General Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.

“You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?” Mr. Martin followed up.

“That is correct,” the general replied.

How is it humanly possible that the Commander in Chief of our military has spoken to the top general of the major military conflict only ONCe in the last 8 months???

Answer: He doesn’t care…and will pull out soon.

A response from a fellow blogger at Flopping Aces:

How long will we have to wait until a reporter asks Obama why he doesn’t listen to his general?

Here’s Judd Gregg in response:

“Startling” “President Bush spoke to (Gen. David) Petraeus on a very regular basis.”

    At least he's not micromanaging the war. Seriously, he's the CinC, the Commander in Chief. He's the one that said during the campaign that Afghanistan is the war of necessity. There must be a happy medium between what Bush did and his once in 6 months call. He certainly finds the time to appear on TV often enough, I was tired of seeing him pop up there a long time ago. I know he has no military experience, to go along with his lack of experience in everything else, so he could excuse himself and turn the running of the war over to someone else, while still having the final say on major operations. It probably doesn't matter anyway, the leftists have admitted they only talked tough on Afghanistan to win the election, and Obama is their man, so he probably is preparing the way to pull out, anyone have any white flags handy?
