June 22, 201016 yr Does he stay or does he go? http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100622/ts_alt_afp/afghanistanunrestusfrancenatomilitary
June 22, 201016 yr My personal opinion is that he should stay. IMO, he's the right man for the job in Afghanistan. He just needs to stay away from the press.
June 22, 201016 yr Isn't this the second time he's been summoned for insubordination? He may be battlefield savvy, but he lacks political deft. Word has it he has tenured his resignation, the only thing left is if Obama will accept it. I think it's time he goes.

Word has it he has tenured his resignation, the only thing left is if Obama will accept it. I think it's time he goes. I think that it would be prudent in this case to dress him down in private, make a public statement in support of his job performance relative to doing the job he's tasked to do, and keep him away from the press.

June 23, 201016 yr He obviously didn't use much wisdom in this interview but he is the right guy for the job. I think it would be a mistake to change leadership at this point in the game.
June 23, 201016 yr The General is the same general who tried to cover up the death of Pat Tillman. That leaves a bitter taste.
June 23, 201016 yr Why is the Senator from OK bothered by the fact that Rolling Stone had the article that might take down the general? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/06/conservative-republicans-walk-fine-line-on-mcchrystal-controversy.php?ref=fpb
June 23, 201016 yr He obviously didn't use much wisdom in this interview but he is the right guy for the job. I think it would be a mistake to change leadership at this point in the game. Despite repeated insubordination? That's risking a lot...
June 23, 201016 yr Despite repeated insubordination? That's risking a lot... That has to be a key factor. However, the President said that the #1 factor will be the impact on the war in Afghanistan. I do find it hard to believe though that the General can be kept with showing public contempt for the President. If you're on the front line what is your morale when you hear the general say what he said?
