The top commander in Afghanistan ordered home by an angry Commander in Chief after a magazine interview critical of the President and the key players in the war.General McChrystal and his aides spent a month with Rolling Stone reporter, Michael Hastings, and they let almost no top administration official go uninsulted.First, the Commander in Chief, described by an advisor, as looking uncomfortable and intimidated when he first met the General.I think it's clear that the article in which he and his team appeared showed poor judgment.General McChrystal did issue a statement saying that he extends his sincerest apologies, it was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and he has enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his team.
アフガニスタン駐留の司令官が召還された。雑誌に載った政権批判が大統領を怒らせたのだ。司令官と側近は記者と１か月を過ごし―関係する政府高官ほぼ全員を侮辱した。初めて司令官に会った大統領は“不安でおどおどしていた”そうだ。あの雑誌に掲載された司令官らの発言は―稚拙な判断の表れだと思います。司令官は自分の稚拙な判断が招いた過ちだと謝罪し―大統領らへの尊敬と称賛を伝えた。
