General Stanley McChrystal to report immediately in Washington
General Stanley McChrystal, the head of U.S. military and its allies in Afghanistan, has received in the last hours and ordered to report immediately in Washington just at a critical time of the longest conflict since Vietnam.
General McChrystal would have lost the confidence of the White House to transcend a series of severe criticism in a report of the ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine.
Not helped much that McChrystal has offered a first public apology for the remarks attributed both to himself and to his assistants. In the interview, General McChrystal at different times expressed reluctance and disdain for a number of senior civilian U.S. government with responsibilities in Afghanistan.
Stanley McChrystal comes to claim betrayed by the American ambassador in Kabul, Karl Eikenberry, when delivering more troops. With the details of responding to an email from Richard Holbrooke, Obama’s diplomat, saying “I did not even open it.”
The staff of the four-star general also pokes fun at Vice President Joe Biden as a figure totally irrelevant despite his claims to knowledge and influence the White House policy in Afghanistan. Those same sources insist that McChrystal feels “disappointed” by President Obama. The report in question is entitled “The fugitive general” and go on the U.S. newsstands this Friday.
Given this wealth of indiscretions that evidence of the profound differences between military and civilian United States over how to address the increasingly violent Afghan conflict, McChystal has issued a statement of apology.
“Throughout my career, I have lived under the principles of personal honor and professional integrity. What is reflected in this article is not up to that standard. I have enormous respect and admiration for President Obama, his team national security and civilian leaders and troops who are fighting this war and remain committed to ensuring a successful outcome” said General Stanley McChrystal
