McChrystal forces Obama into a no-win situation

President Barack Obama faces two grim choices on Wednesday: Fire Gen. Stanley McChrystal and risk looking like he’s lost control of the war in Afghanistan. Or keep him and risk looking like he’s lost control of his generals.

Could this Rolling Stone article be the real reason GEN Petraeus was stressed and fainted before Congress last week?

If McChrystal is releived/resigns - any thoughts on who'd be his replacement...or is this one of those situations like we used to experience whenever the Soviet Premiership changed hands?

And so it goes...

Frankly,. I would not have the Gen's job. I would refuse to work for this admin. That is me. Who wants to be the next Abrams?
