General Stanley McCrystal

An important question comes to mind when the subject of General McCrystal is mentioned. One can only wonder how Stanley McCrystal could be so "foolish" as to speak his mind so openly, and yet one can also wonder why Obama didn't handle this in a much more professional way.





Petreus may be a fine general and he should get a fair chance to show what he is made of. But it is felt that these nice words are still given to "hide" the fact that he reacted based on feelings.

The oil spill in the gulf of Mexico is tragic, but leadership should focus on the issues at hand. At times there is a need to refocus - and there should be room for some disagreement, although I fully understand that the President would have preferred that any disagreements be held within the confines of personal meetings.

So it was a necessary step in many ways - but we can only hope that President Obama will renew his commitment to creating CHANGE in this presidency instead of fighting wars we can't win.

Just my 0.02$ on the matter. :-)
