Another fine mess, Stanley
The all-encompassing Gen. Stanley McChrystal flap is one of those train wrecks you could see coming from hundreds of miles away, kind of like the idea that Bill Clinton might have sex in the Oval Office. Anyone, unless or until it actually happens, in the chattering classes is going to be chattering away non-stop for the next few days over whether President Obama should fire the "going rogue" general, when they're not rehashing Harry Truman and Douglas McArthur.
It's a shame, because personally, I could a flying you-know-what over whether or not we change the general.
We need to change the policy, regardless of who is in charge, either on the ground or in the White House.
The surge isn't working -- it's time to wind this war down, whether the commander is Gen. Patton or Col. Klink.
