O aide's squeals of delight for gen. firing

The original title, as published, was used.

I withhold comment. The article speaks for itself.

LINK

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was delighted by the humiliating downfall of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led US efforts in Afghanistan until a slew of outrageous comments by subordinates about civilian leadership at the White House was reported by Rolling Stone, according to a new book by Bob Woodward.

"Like a pig in s- - -" is how Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell described it to others.

"In another exchange, Vice President Joe Biden warned Obama that if he adopted McChrystal's strategy in Afghanistan, he would "own" that war.
"I already own it," Obama replied."


He's right about that.
