The U.S. military's top commander in Afghanistan got into hot water with the White House and top military brass by criticizing Obama administration officials in a "Rolling Stone" article by Mark Hastings titled "Runaway General." As a result, Gen. McChrystal was ordered to Washington to explain his comments and those made by his aides in the magazine piece. He submitted his resignation to President Obama, who accepted it and replaced him on June 23, 2010, with Gen. David Petraeus. "Rolling Stone" quoted a McChrystal aide who said the general was "disappointed" by his first White House meeting with President Obama, whom he considered unprepared. McChrystal also is quoted as saying that he found it "painful" when the president reprimanded him last fall for speaking openly about his desire for more troops in Afghanistan. The magazine also said a McChrystal aide referred to White House National Security Adviser Jim Jones - a retired 4-star general - as a "clown" who's "stuck in 1985." There were also jokes by McChrystal and his staff about Vice President Joseph Biden. McChrystal issued a statement on June 22, 2010, apologizing for the comments in the magazine.
