Washington : US President Barack Obama today removed the top American military commander in Afghanistan Gen Stanley McChrystal who had made disparaging remarks about senior officials and Obama. McChrystal will be replaced by Iraq war hero General David Petraeus. The decision comes a day after McChrystal’s interview to Rolling Stone magazine in which he was very critical of the Obama administration officials.

Gen. McChrystal has shown insubordination to elected US govt that has Zero tolerance in civilised counties like U.S., U.K., France, Canada and Germany. It is Pakistan where Generals overthrow the elected civilian governments. When Mian Nawaz Sharif tired firing Musharraf, remember what was happened, he had slapped around twice. May Allah save Pakistan from these dictators and their allies.
