and therein lies the rub...much as anyone might enjoy having a general badmouth his commander in chief, it can and will only land said general in hot water. it's not the military way, to do things like what may well have happened here...guess we'll see once the rolling stone article appears. but we most likely will be looking for a new commander in afganistan, and soon.

even if I'm Obama and I like the job he's doing in Afghanistan.. he would still get demoted / fired. you can talk **** about your boss underneath your back or to your friends, but not to a rolling stones reporter.
