Interesting scuttlebutt on the FACNet.

Quote:
Jeff Dunetz, of Breitbart's Big Govenment, has a different take on it. He thinks that McChrystal deliberately planted the piece as a sort of suicide by interview.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

By the way, Michael Yon has been very much down on McChrystal, and got himself thrown out of Afghanistan. It may be that his complaints about McChrystal are about things imposed upon him and not of his own doing. McChrystal's actions in Iraq were nothing like the cautious policies in Afghanistan. Hard to tell without inside knowledge.

Petraeus Ready to Loosen Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan

It looks like McChrystal’s resignation may be a blessing in disguise…
General Petraeus will likely modify the controversial rules of engagement and make it easier for U.S. troops to engage in combat with the enemy according to a source close to the general.....

...also, Now That McChrystal is Gone- Michael Yon Is Invited to Embed Again in Afghanistan

It may very well end up that way. I keep up with Michael Yon, and when he got booted, I kinda started to wonder if McChrystal was the right guy for the job.

Yep, maybe Michael Yon will give us his read on the changes soon. He's a good, factual source in my opinion.
So is Ollie North.
