I agree, a General speaking like this is way outta line and doesnt follow his chain of command....However.....this was TOTALLY planned ahead of time and the general approved the article before hand......so what does that mean? He did the EXACT same thing with the troop levels in Afghanistan if people remember that in his interview in Germany. He planned this 100%. West Point Grad, special forces member, very smart guy.....this was totally planned. Or Obama's Afghan strategy is a loser and McChrystal wants nothing to do with it.

Its also amusing that when generals left during the Bush years they were celebrated as heroes amongst the loony left for bashing him....now the shoes on the other foot and McChrystal thinks Obama's rules for engagement are a joke and they were watered down as they went up the chain of command.

He shouldn't have said what he said, especially to a biased out of date Rolling Stone...;..but what he said was 100% TRUE about Obama's administration and their man-made disasters.

If I was Obama, I'd be scared McChrystal was gonna resign and RUN AGAINST Me....
