Admittedly, I posted that for Zeits enjoyment;) I don’t know enough about the situation to make an intelligent comment. However, I think this is deeper than we can all imagine, as it always is with huge moves such as this. It just smells staged.
btw-that comment is standard PR fluff that gets put out in situations like this. I would not expect anything else regardless of what is going on behind the scenes .
Truth be known, I don’t like McChrystal because of the Tillman crap he pulled.
