An adviser to the administration said: "People aren't sure whether McChrystal is being naïve or an upstart. To my mind he doesn't seem ready for this Washington hard-ball and is just speaking his mind too plainly."

Unbelievable.

Yep, the demonizing of McChrystal has started, and no doubt Petraeus as well. It’s easy to sit here and say they should just resign now, but increasingly they are going to be put in the position of increasingly risking their troops’ lives unnecessarily. At some point, it will become untenable.

You’re right, nutmeg. Unbelievable.
