McChrystal Out, Petraeus In

President Obama has relieved General Stanley McChrystal of command because of comments made in a Rolling Stone article.  He has been replaced with General David Petraeus.  McChrystal said the article was "a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened."  President Obama said:

"I believe that this mission demands unity of effort across our alliance and across my national security team. And I don't think that we can sustain that unity of effort and achieve our objectives in Afghanistan without making this change."
