Levin’s statement after the jump …
WASHINGTON – Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said the following today regarding General Stanley McChrystal’s comments reported in Rolling Stone magazine:
“I am troubled by Gen. McChrystal’s reported comments, which are inappropriate and also demonstrate an uncharacteristic lack of discipline on his part. However, it is very significant that, while the reported comments reflect personality differences, they do not reflect differences in policy on prosecuting the war. Personality differences can negatively impact the successful implementation of policy, and that must be avoided. Our troops and our nation surely deserve that.”
