Those comments should never been put in print. It was a political move by the magazine IMO. Why would you jeapordize in any way soldiers in a battlezone fighting on your behalf? I don't think a general should speak like that, but it should have been handled discreetly behind closed doors, not in such a global forum that does nothing but weaken the US position.
