I'm surprised it has not come out here yet. It's funny that a guy without military experience can fire a general.

^^^ I've been following it fairly extensively, and there's good (and bad) reasons for him to do both. I'm more wondering why he demoted Gen. Petraeus to fill the job, and who will fill his position if he is not tasked with doing both. (Before this happened, Gen. Petraeus was head of CENTCOM, under which Afghanistan falls under.)
There's a lot more to this than meets the eye.sigpic89 M3

I'm confused as to why he granted an interview to Rolling Stone.

I have to say that I'm not surprised by the comments that the General and his fellow soldiers made.
It sounds like a typical, "not for public consumption" military conversation about policy.
You see, we don't get to write policy. We don't get to question it, we just follow orders.
So yeah, conversations like that are happening ALL OVER THE WORLD, in and out of the military. I think it's healthy. The President can't be there behind the trigger, or with the foreign civilian population... (You weren't THERE, MAN!!)
So he has to rely on his military commanders.
I wonder if maybe the journalist had an axe to grind, if you read his follow up articles, it kinda smacks of "there, see what I did?" Of course the whole thing is spun the way he wants it spun, and a kicked pigeon is always going to flutter. In other words, he could have gone several ways with that article, and just because you call a spade a spade, doesn't mean you're wrong.
It was VERY stupid to go ON THE RECORD for this kind of article. I'm sure it was for the sake of "transparency" that he was allowed to follow him around in such candid situations.
All together, I'm not surprised by the outcome, what really irks me though, is that it sounds like the decision was made more by the "White House" than by the President...
