It's official - McChrystal has been replaced with Petreus BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 23/06/2010 06:49:05 PM
Not too surprised judging by the comments he made and given how Biden carries grudges ;)

Anywhoo, I wonder how many people have actually read the Rolling Stone piece - it does a good job of describing the military as well as diplomatic and political quagmire that is Afghanistan, and how McChrystal has dealt with it up to now. Honestly, I'd say McChrystal had the right of it, even though I don't support a counterinsurgency strategy (but if I did, that's basically how one would execute it).

He's might be a good general but he's also a loose gun. This is the third time he's fucked up. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2010 12:32:05 AM 179 Views
