President Obama picks David Petraeus.

President Barack Obama has relieved Gen. Stanley McChrystal of command of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and replaced him Gen. David Petraeus — putting a general well-known throughout the world for his work in Iraq in charge of the mission in Afghanistan. Obama said Wednesday he made the decision with regret but “with the certainty that it’s the right thing for the mission in Afghanistan, for our military and for our country.” He also said it “saddened” him to lose the services of McChrystal. Obama also stressed that the decision was a change in personnel not of policy — signaling that he would stick with a war plan that was McChrystal’s creation, focused on counterinsurgency, routing the Taliban from its strongholds and supporting the Afghan government of President Hamid Karzai.Link

The Good War.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s MacArthur Moment was more than an embarrassment for the White House – it was a reminder of just how badly Barack Obama’s “good war” in Afghanistan is going. The challenge facing Obama in responding to his loose-lipped Afghan commander has an obvious parallel in Harry Truman’s firing of Douglas MacArthur at the height of the Korean War. But it may actually be more comparable to a more chronic presidential leadership crisis — Abraham Lincoln’s dilemma during the Civil War, when he was forced to repeatedly reshuffle his general staff in the face of vacillating public opinion, insubordination and, above all else, uncertainty about how best to win a bloody war he couldn’t afford to lose.Link
