WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he has accepted the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal with regret, but is certain that it is the right decision for the country's national security and the future of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.
Speaking in the Rose Garden, Obama says McChrystal's biting comments about the president and his aides in a magazine article did not meet the standards of conduct for a commanding general.
Obama named Gen. David Petraeus to assume McChrystal's role as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. He says the move will allow the U.S. to maintain leadership and momentum in the war.
Obama made the announcement following a private meeting with McChrystal and a separate meeting of his national security staff.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama ousted Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan on Wednesday, choosing the embattled general's direct boss — Gen. David Petraeus — to take over the troubled 9-year-old war, a source told The Associated Press.
McChrystal was summoned to Washington from Kabul to explain scathing, mocking remarks about administration officials, including Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, by him and his team in a magazine article. But the morning showdown with Obama in the Oval Office was not enough to save his job.
McChrystal offered his resignation and Obama accepted it, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the president's decision was not yet made public.
Obama planned to speak at 1:30 p.m. EDT from the Rose Garden, accompanied by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the controversy.
Petraeus, who attended a formal Afghanistan war meeting at the White House Wednesday, now oversees the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq as head of U.S. Central Command.
By pairing the decision on McChrystal's departure with the name of his replacement, Obama is seeking to move on as quickly as possible from the firestorm surrounding the Rolling Stone magazine story and the renewed debate over his Afghanistan policy that it provoked.

Barach Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

The question should be is why did Obama let it get this far? There's a reason!

Like it or not bush will go down as a legendary president

You already told us the reason ,now I would like to hear why Bush did it.

I'm not blaming Bush but did he start the collapsing ,yes or no ?
To say one man started the collapse is a bit much... There were lots of people, companies, and government entities involved in the collapse.
Was he President? Yes... Did HE start the collapse... No.

What 4 star general gives an interview with ROLLING STONE of all magazines for God's sakes) where he is just flat out disrespectful and sophmoric towards his bosses. Doesn't make any sense. PEople do that when they are looking for a way out....
I don't think this guy respects President Obama at all and he voted for him. He probably didn't want to work for him any longer. I don't know that this is going to end well for Barack Obama.

Oh, man. You said a mouthful. Used to be cool and hard-nosed, respected. Played by Clark Gable, he would thunder down the table at his writers, playing the ad profit against the type-space. Now, you have conglomerates led by embarrassments like Rupert Murdoch and editors who are gatekeepers. It's a wonder people even pick up a newspaper at all, these days. :-\

It's both sophomoric and disrespectful, it also, as I said, breaks COC. He knows this, like a private knows this. He's kicking himself right now, trust me. If he wanted retire, he could have done so through the proper channels.
This incident is embarrassing for all involved. The general farked up big-time, but Obama also loses, because now he doesn't have his top guy with his ear to the ground. You think he wants to look around for another guy for the theater!?

I agree with you...but what I am failing to understand is WHAT on earth did he think would happen?????? He thought, "oh nobody will read it." C'mon....
I also notice it is not being pointed out that McChrystal voted for Obama but said he was unprepared and seemed intimidated. That looks really bad as well. You're right McChrystal was also liked by the Afghans as well as knowing what was going on. I just thinks this make the PResident look as if he is losing control.
All of those high expectations are falling rather quickly.

Well, the General's a smart guy. I mean, you don't get to that level without BIG school, staff college, and combat experience. But, like a lot of super smart guys, he farked up. Nothing is off-record. Nothing. He tendered his resignation today. I'll bet he says nothing further about it. Remember, he was the guy that advised the Bush admin. to not reveal how Pat Tillman really died. He knows all about politics.
As for Obama, it'll be a pain, but he can get another Afghan guy. But, it does throw a real wrench in the works. On the plus side, I'm guessing the Fox News people have already offered the General an advisory on-air role. :-\

obama hasnt done anything since being elected, hes great at making sports predictions, and even wrong on that...........said to get elected he would stop the war........its a shame how the government is destroying our lives....I like what the general said, he knows he is fighting a losing battle.

It started way before Obama. "They" just want the black man to take the hit for it. Brilliant really.

That is so impressive.
He recently spoke in IOWA of all places. Many people thought he was flirting with a 2012 White House run. Now that he's in charge of running the afghan war (which will withdraw in July 2011), Obama has pretty much removed patraeus from the 2012 race.
Shrewd move on obama's part. Still, a Palin or Romney or Huck (hell, any of those 2012 hopefuls without a lick of military/foreign relations credibliity) will be salivating for a chance to nominate patraeus for their VP slot. But as far as being at the TOP of the ticket, Obama probably just prevented that. Patraeus is moving from tampa to kabul :(

I don't blame Obama for what Bush did , I blame Obama for what he did

People who start threads in the politics section should know the difference between "Your" and "You're".
It'll never happen.
I've lived in China a couple of times. I tell the Chinese people that understand English that so many native speakers make this mistake.
They get confused as to why, because all of them think "your" and "you're" are such easy concepts to grasp. Of all the complexities of English, it never ceases to amaze them and I think some of them might not even believe me.
But this will never end.

Barach Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.
Fucking scary shit right there. Anyone who doesn't think that it is at least possible, even though some of it is actually factual, is a complete retard. I was never big into politics until this past election.... Sometimes, I feel it would have been better to have stayed a sheep. With a little more knowledge, I am terrified of things to come :(

He deserves no respect. We're fighting against the devil himself.

LOL!!! Why do people say such insane things.
That's like saying Bush is Hitler or something stupid.
Obama is hardly Satan...

The difference here, Coach, is that while some (like me) had problems with Bush and his policies, especially post-9/11, there was always a respect for the Office of the Presidency.

I would be a lot less harsh with the other Dems that ran if if they would have ran, at least with someone like Hillary Clinton we would have known what to expect, we only kind of knew what to expect with Obama and needless to say he is worse that what anyone expected. Wouldn't you agree?

I meant won, not ran!

No, I think Hilary would have been a huge mistake. Very, very smart but absolutely the wrong temperament to hold the highest office. The book 'Game Change' shows her to be almost unhinged. Obama's no devil. He's a politician who, I think, has tried to bite off more than he can chew. But, let's keep in mind he's not the first one to do that. Also, the BP disaster is a total headache for everyone. Not helping. He has his plate full.

He is doing everything according to "their" plan. Spend, kill jobs and grow government. The black man will take the hit from the people like you. However, because he is black people have to pick their words wisely. Its brilliant really. Socialism was coming here no matter what. What Obama is doing in one term would have taken decades to achieve. I'm not saying I like it Coach. But it is happening and it can't be stopped.
-
"They" are out to get us....how tired these stupid paranoid conspiracy theories all start sounding. Politicians are public officials elected by the populace, if you don't like the way things are going, elect new law and policy makers. The U.S. is still a democracy.

so you're just gonna bend over and take it? the great thing is any oppressive regime in the us (and let's face it, it's always oppressive to the other side) lasts for 4 years, 8 at the max and then gets reset.
i used to get angry at the shit obama does, and i still do; but i don't think he's some bolshevik with an ulterior motive. he's just another puppet up there, a target for finger pointing. if you don't like the bullshit he's spewing, just vote the opposite in november. it can all be easily reset, and in the long term the bullshit gets sifted out. the evil republicans ended slavery and enacted the civil rights act because after a while everyone realized it's bullshit for negroidals to be seggregated (debatable fact to this day).
so if you don't like it, just vote opposite and throw the fuckhead out in 2012. the assholes in charge today are asking the marine corps if Guam would tip over if a marine base was set up there, and the majority leader is calling his president a well spoken negro. :-\
they're all fucking assholes. just imagine what an insecure ego maniac you have to be to want to be up there in washington. like dennis miller said "politicians are the guys who couldn't catch a football or play guitar in high school". couldn't have said it better myself. fucking losers with no other discernable skills other than spewing shit out of their mouth while we pay them, like the fucking parasites they are.

It's setting up a another Civil War like atmosphere...you know how there was Succession...and then other states followed....
I like how the Feds don't follow the laws on the books, but tell Arizone, that their Law will create too much work...
