Possibly. Perhaps also McChrystal is seen as loose tongued - some non-US articles say the Rolling Stone Article is not the first such incident and he's also supposed to have
leaked secret CIA information at a London speech.
Maybe despite any wrongs and faults Obama may have - this is a man out of control?
I was simply responding to your comment about Obama's immaturity. The 1 hour stop over you later referred to near Germany is seen in other quarters as the first time Obama had to dress McChrystal down - the BBC reporter said in his Blog and on BBC news just now that it was a "Presidential telling off near Copenhagen"
For further clarification - Obama spoke face to face with McChrystal on both occasions and I'm simply saying what I mean - I'd personally prefer someone told me face to face rather than sack me from halfway across the world.
Well... there's a Rolling Stone article that seems to have gotten him in trouble. :lol:
I'm guessing if he didn't say anything at all about the Vice President or Jack Jones or any others of the US Govt - then he could comfortably sue the Rolling Stone for false reporting / libel and live in comfort for the rest of his life. Anyhow - McChrystal didn't specifically refer to Obama but his position as head to the aides that actually did reminds me of the old "buck stops here" comment.
Finally, for clarification - I referenced "a senior British Officer" in my post if it's important for you to prove that I did or didn't accuse McChrystal himself of saying anything specific about the President.
