So was I wrong? Yes and no. Wrong, because obviously Obama sacked McChrystal, replacing him with Petraeus. But right in that my reasoning was sound. Rob Neppell agrees (h/t Instapundit):
So Obama has done what he does best: vote “present”, and punt. But in this case, he’s punted to someone who actually knows what they are doing. We may not agree with Petraeus’s exact personnel choices (of which I assume there will be many, not just the second-in-command I note), but I feel certain he’ll make them for better reasons and with better rationale than Obama.
It’s not really clear yet, but Obama either demoted Petraeus by removing him from CENTCOM, or else doubled his workload by leaving him at CENTCOM and also giving him responsibility for Afghanistan. My bet is that it’s the latter, because otherwise Obama would actually have to make a decision on who to run CENTCOM. Plus, Obama gets the bonus that Petraeus won’t be able to run in 2012 — assuming he even wanted to, which he denies — because he will have been worked to death.
