was/is mcchrystal on that stuff?
he was stuck in Aghan and he was getting pretty chummy with Karzai. We know how karzai rolls.
That would explain a whole lot. I want to see a damn piss test!

1. Opiates remain in the system less than two days
Opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, and most hard drugs remain in the system such a short time that catching them in a piss test is rare.

The Cannabis tests go after metabolytes that remain in the system 2 to 4 weeks.

I don't think McChrystal smoked pot.

3. I Read The R.S. Article
I don't see what the big deal is.

Afghan is a big fail no matter who is running it, there's no way in hell we're going to "win" anything there. I thing McCrystal figured that out and decided he wanted out. He's just a warrior, that's all. You put a warrior in an un-winnable situation and you get what you get.

Now that they are going with Petraeus it's easy to see that it's just business as usual. The military industrial complex at it's finest.

4. Seriously Doubt He's on Drugs
he's an athlete and he's 55. That just doesn't indicate drugs at all.

5. If he only eats once per day
He must be on amphetamines.

6. I picked up a soldier run out of gas on the road
Who was in on leave.

He said that in his opinion it would be a long time before the Afghan army can do it's job.

He said nearly everyone in the country was hooked on opium. He said the Afghan army was perpetually stoned.

Said they were all in a firefight and the shooting stopped and all the afghanis started getting stoned and they were like "what if they open up on us again?? You guys sure you want to be stoned for that?"
