Telegraph: Obama "Furious" With McChrystal For Candid Speech

Not sure about you, but when Obama's dithering on Afghanistan is essentially ridiculed by our top commander there, I don't think that's a good sign. Remember - General Petraeus is in charge of Central Command, and McChrystal's views very likely have the support of Petraeus. From the UK Telegraph:

According to sources close to the administration, Gen McChrystal shocked and angered presidential advisers with the bluntness of a speech given in London last week.

The next day he was summoned to an awkward 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen, where the president had arrived to tout Chicago's unsuccessful Olympic bid.

He told the Institute of International and Strategic Studies that the formula [new strategy based on more missile strikes], which is favoured by Vice-President Joe Biden, would lead to "Chaos-istan".

When asked whether he would support it, he said: "The short answer is: No."

He went on to say: "Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support."
