McChrystal out; Petraeus picked for Afghanistan

McChrystal out; Petraeus picked for Afghanistan - Yahoo! News

More on this later, there is actually less. Much less than all that was reported said and if you you read the lame article for yourself you will see that this was just a fill in the blanks hit-piece with a point of view. It's right out of the Columbia School of Journalism and Broadcasting 101.

Even with the poor counterinsurgency strategy, lame rules of engagement and ridiculous time table, McChrystal must have read some history of Gen, Sherman, who began 'modern war'. Gen. Sherman hated the press. He considered them as his second enemy. Too bad McChrystal didn't remember his history and in turn, it's too bad the Commander-in-Chief doesn't know any, especially when in a war, it is to be won!

From Laura Ingraham-

McChrystal met with Obama today after his rogue interview with Rolling Stone came to light. He offered his resignation and Obama accepted. General David Petraeus will take charge in Afghanistan. It's nice to see Obama affirming all of the decisions George W. Bush made, isn't it?

Here's a thought: Did Obama just tie up Petraeus through the 2012 election cycle?
