SUCH IS THE QUALITY OF THIS ADMIN ISTRATION...:

Obama relieves McChrystal of his duties (Michael D. Shear, William Branigin and Ernesto Londoño, 6/23/10, Washington Post)

President Obama removed Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal as commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan on Wednesday, moving quickly to restore the unity of his administration's war effort after the general and his top aides disparaged civilian leaders in an explosive magazine article.

Obama named Gen. David H. Petraeus, the former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and currently the head of the U.S. Central Command, to replace McChrystal and urged the Senate to confirm him promptly.

...that it's a relief when the President does the only thing he could do.
