Obama 'Furious' at McChrystal

General warned against reducing troops.

Things are getting testy in the war room: According to The Telegraph, Obama was “furious” over a speech in London by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, where the Afghan commander rejected proposals to rely more heavily on drone missile strikes and special ops against al Qaeda, saying Joe Biden’s preferred plan would lead to “Chaos-istan.” The next day, McChrystal was summoned for a 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen. “People aren't sure whether McChrystal is being naïve or an upstart,” says the Telegraph’s source inside the administration. “To my mind he doesn't seem ready for this Washington hard-ball and is just speaking his mind too plainly.”
