Obama Trashed the Military: McChrystal Responded, as He Did Before

Secrets From Inside the Obama War Room reveals the background in the machinations between the neophyte Obama and the actual war leaders, McChrystal and Petraeus. Obama is out of his element and I wonder how deep the dissatisfaction is between the White House and the troops. The evidence that the top military leadership is bucking Obama is a good sign that they have not bought into Obama's naivete which is a good thing. On the other hand, it puts our troops at risk and means we have to wait for a regime change to develop an effective Afghanistan policy.
