More trouble in Afghanistan . . .

and it's all on our side.

The top U.S. war commander in Afghanistan is being called to the White House for a face-to-face meeting with President Obama after issuing an apology Tuesday for an interview in which he described the president as unprepared for their first meeting. . . . It quoted an adviser to McChrystal dismissing the early meeting with Obama as a "10-minute photo op."

. . . The profile, titled "The Runaway General," emerged from several weeks of interviews and travel with McChrystal's tight circle of aides this spring.

It includes a list of administration figures said to back McChrystal, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and puts Vice President Joe Biden at the top of a list of those who don't.

The article claims McChrystal has seized control of the war "by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House."

That's our military's confidential assessment of the Obama administration and "the real enemy": "The wimps in the White House".
