Top US Commander in Afghanistan Summoned to Washington VOA News 22 June 2010 NATO commander in Afghanistan US General Stanley McChrystal Photo: AP NATO commander in Afghanistan US General Stanley McChrystal leaves by helicopter after a meeting between President Hamid Karzai and tribal leaders in Kandahar city, Afghanistan (File Photo - 13 Jun 2010) The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan is being summoned to Washington to explain critical comments he and his staff have made about President Barack Obama and other members of the administration. In an article published in the latest issue of the popular U.S.-based Rolling Stone magazine, aides to General Stanley McChrystal say he dismissed his first Oval Office meeting with Mr. Obama as nothing more than a "10 minute photo op." The aides also heaped scorn on U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who favored a far more limited approach in Afghanistan than the one McChrystal advocated.  The summons to Washington came hours after the general issued a statement in Kabul saying the profile published in Rolling Stone reflected "poor judgment" and was a mistake that should never have happened. A spokesman for NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says McChrystal has Rasmussen's full support. The spokesman called the Rolling Stone article "rather unfortunate," but stresses it is just an article. The general himself told Rolling Stone he felt "betrayed" by Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, who sent an internal memo to Washington expressing doubts about McChrystal's strategy of adding more troops to fight the Taliban insurgency. Eikenberry described Afghan President Hamid Karzai as an unreliable partner in the U.S. efforts to defeat the country's former hardline rulers. Mr. Obama agreed to McChrystal's plan to deploy an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.  McChrystal's aides approved of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who supported the general's plans. Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters. .
