…the thread that has dominated memeorandum, because I am indifferent.

Yeah I don’t like the Rolling Stone interview, yeah lately the administration has not inspired me with their priorities, but bottom line is I want to win the war.

We have an army of millions, we have plenty of Generals, I doubt that McChrystal is the only one who is tactically capable of winning the war. If he is then we are in trouble bigtime.

As for generals and presidents butting heads, we have had that as long as we’ve had generals and presidents, cripes we had that before we even declared independence.

To steal the name from the old wargaming magazine I used to read, it comes down to Strategy and Tactics if McChrystal is the best choice and he is not undermining the war then keep him, if not then replace him.

The goal is to win, eyes on the prize people, eyes on the prize.

Update: McChrystal out, Petraeus in. Big Whoop, as long as we win.

One good thing about the move is Petraeus is that his rep will likely allow him to pursue the strategy of his choice, but we will see.
