The only right decision would be to quit. I think, McChrystal anticipated and planned the reaction. He just found his way out of this mess with the bang. I believe, both Biden and McChrystal do their best to change the course of this useless war. We need to thank both of them for this. Unfortunately, our placeholder for POTUS could not do any better than to keep the same course. This is a mutiny. And the cause of it is the useless war and inability of Commander in Chief to make decisions.Marina Sapirhttp://sapir.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067977173951690762.post-16211125767948536062010-06-25T00:37:49.847-07:002010-06-25T00:37:49.847-07:00I followed you from NY times.
