The top US commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, has been recalled to Washington following the publication of an article in which McChrystal criticizes several top Obama administration officials. In an interview in this week’s issue of Rolling Stone, McChrystal is described as “disappointed” in his first Oval Office meeting with President Obama, whom he felt was unprepared. McChrystal also says he felt betrayed by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry following the release of cables in which Eikenberry warned about escalating the Afghan war with more troops. McChrystal said of Eikenberry, “Here’s one that covers his flank for the history books. Now, if we fail, they can say 'I told you so.'” In a statement today, McChrystal apologized for his comments, saying the article “reflected poor judgment and should never have happened.”
