OBAMA FIRES TOP US GENERAL IN AFGHANISTAN & PUTS IN NEW GENERAL

Our take is that Obama wanted a tougher guy who knows how to move fast against an unconventional enemy and not get us bogged down in Afghanistan as we are in Iraq and as we were in Vietnam.

The good news for General McChrystal is that it's all up to him, now. That's also the bad news for him. Our bet is that he's being given a tight timeline to show some progress or also get fired.

Once McChrystal is confirmed, we expect him to make some major changes to his command structure and tactics and we also expect him to almost immediately start a major assault in the mountains on the border with Pakistan. But those are just our guesses.
