Political News: President relieves General McChrystal of his Afghan command

President Obama has named Gen. David Petraeus to replace McChrystal as the leader of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan

In a Rose Garden address, Obama said he was sacking McChrystal "with considerable regret but also with the certainty it is the right thing to do."

While professing admiration for McChrystal, Obama said that the general's trash-talking of the chain of command "does not meet the standard that should be met by a commanding general."

McChrystal's resignation had been expected after his blatant show of disloyalty in mocking the civilian leadership in a Rolling Stone magazine article.

Sidenote: Darn you Donald Trump! Everytime I hear someone is fired, I picture THIS!
