Okay, there are two ways that I can read this. One is good, the other isn’t.
1. McChrystal is doing divide-and-conquer like Petraeus did in Iraq, by convincing Sunni tribes to cut their allegiance to al-Qaeda and join alongside the Coalition and Iraqi forces
2. McChrystal is making the same mistakes that Pakistan made
Let’s hope it’s number one.
If true Obama needs to relieve the General of command tomorrow.
You can’t have your leading General saying he’s tired of fighting. Completely unacceptable. McChrystal doesn’t even do any fighting. If he was some NCO in the field I could understand, but for someone like him to say that is amazing.
