I don't agree with what General McChrystal reportedly said in a Rolling Stone magazine article and I can understand the loyalty needed in the military, especially from someone leading the fight on a war front. However, what should, but probably won't happen is Obama should dress the general down for his obvious misconduct, then reject his resignation and let him resume his important duties. There may very well be someone who can assume his duties, but unless this 'someone' has been shadowing General McChrystal and understands the situation as well as him, replacing him now would be a disaster.
Certainly BP is far from blameless for the Gulf oil leak, but I find more fault with this and prior administrations, as well as the environmentalists who forced oil companies to drill in deep water. No one developed a plan to deal with leaks at 5000 feet below the ocean surface and now everyone's pointing the finger at BP and not at themselves. Completely halting all offshore drilling is as irresponsible as forcing only deep water drilling in the first place. Alternative energy sources should be pusued where they make sense, but Obama's plan to put fossil fuel exploration on the back shelf is ridiculous. Solar and wind power energy production in most of the country is extremely impractical and will never replace conventional means (oil, gas and nuclear).
