At yesterday's Rose Garden conference where President Obama announced that General McChrystal was relieved of his command and General Petraeus was replacing him, the president said with what appeared to be a new sense of unity of purpose that he could accept a certain level of debate among his war leadership but that he simply would not tolerate division.
For just a moment it seemed Obama going to take command, behave like a Commander in Chief, and earn the repect of those who serve him.

As a matter of civilian control and chain of command, this kind of disrespect is simply untenable and he has to go...
Of course, a majority of the American public and 100% of the military agree with McChrystal's assessment of Obama's incompetence. But that's Obama's problem, I suppose.
