WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama has decided to relieve Gen. Stanley McChrystal of his command over all U.S. military forces in Afghanistan, sources tell NBC News.
Obama is scheduled to make an official 1:30 p.m. EDT announcement about the general. Meantime, the Associated Press reported that Obama has chosen Gen. David Petraeus to replace McChrystal as top Afghan commander.
Earlier, McChrystal was seen leaving the West Wing and climbing into a van after his nearly half-hour private showdown with the president.
Summoned to Washington to explain himself, McChrystal arrived from Kabul in the early morning and met first at the Pentagon with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. After his next face-to-face, with Obama, the general was not seen returning to the White House for a scheduled Afghanistan strategy session, as had been expected. It was not known where he went, as he did not appear at his Pentagon office, either.
Even before their showdown, the White House's rebuke of the general suggested it would be hard for him to save his job.
Before facing the president, McChrystal met with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen at the Pentagon.
On his arrival at the Pentagon, he denied to NBC News that he's offered his resignation. "Come on, you know better than that. No!"

Probably not but Generals IMO dont have or need to be politically correct. And abt 6mons ago he clearly said that he doesnt see America makein any progress there. For it to be an illegal war to begin with I dont give a ? . -

hmmm. interesting point. -
But of the inflammatory quotations and asides, I think it is safe to say they’re mostly ill-judged wisecracks. One in particular from a McChrystal aide about Joe Biden is specifically meant to be a joke. McChrystal also laughs about not wanting to open an email from Richard Holbrooke, and exhibits a reluctance to have a posh dinner in France. Some aides need to wash their mouths out. That really is about it.
There is very little in the piece that would back up the “runaway” angle. There is almost no difference in policy mentioned between the army and the White House. McChrystal comes off as one of the few people actually building bridges properly with Afghanistan’s difficult government. And it would hardly be the first time that a general and a president have not got on like a house on fire.
thats pretty much the gist of it..
oh well, hopefully they'll send Patraeus over there -

Your opinion got nothing to do with it. As Darc pointed out, the rules CLEARLY state that what he did was out of ? bounds. That's why even the most Obama-hating fascist ? admitted that he needed to go. Oh and McCrystal personally ran a torture camp in Iraq and was planning to demand MOAR TROOPS a year from now, so you really should be happy to watch his career get ruined by ? talk. -
priceless quote from a far-right message board:
"Thank ? George W. Bush won the war in Iraq or this thing will seriously be imploding under the lack of leadership that this administration displays."
wow....LMFAO -

I don't know why. Karzai political strength is contingent upon our backing. We can threaten to pull out. -
