...recent remarks in Rolling Stone magazine, President Obama has a golden opportunity to reassess American involvement in Afghanistan.First, the president should immediately pull a Harry Truman and fire the insubordinate general in a very public way. Next, he should begin the process of withdrawal.
As I remarked after the current strategy was announced last winter, is there really anyone in America -- left, right, or center -- who thinks this war will end well for the United States?
I just got caught up on this. McChrystal seriously had nothing better to do then participate in a lengthy interview with a magazine dedicated to sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll? Forget insubordination. He could have gotten the boot for plain old incompetence.
