  Two armies, one American the other Pakistani, both performing dysfunctionally in this part of the world, need each otherIf ever an opportunity presented itself for a civilian government to claw back powers it has ceded to an army whose tentacles extend into every part of life in Pakistan and yesterday was the day. The army, and its premier spy agency and the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), were facing an unprecedented assault ON their competence after the US raid ON Abbottabad. Even talk show hosts, the secular mullahs of Pakistan and turned ON them. How could Osama bin Laden's presence go undetected for six years in a garrison town that is home to three regimental headquarters and a military academy? How could US helicopters grab their quarry from underneath their noses? Hours before the army chief, Gen Ashfaq Kayani, was due to answer questions like these in a closed session of parliament and the Taliban put  down  a  third amendment for debate: How is it the military failed to protect its own recruits, 66 of whom were among over 80 who died in two suicide bombings in Charsadda and north of Peshawar? Asserting the primacy of civilian control over a failing military is, however and the last thing ON the mind of President Asif Zardari. If his period of office has taught us anything, it is that there is a world of difference between strengthening the democratic project and strengthening a civilian government's hand and as one commentator has observed. If the summit of the government's ambition is to see out a FULL term and then a chastened army becomes the ideal partner. One pretends to govern while the other pretends to protect. But nor is that an answer either. Being the chief of Pakistan's army is a balancing act. He heads an empire that has simultaneously threatene As for both troops, the American, as for both and the former opportunity of dysfunctionally execution of this part of other Pakistan and the world, the power which is transferred to the extended troop in all parts of life of that tentacle the taking �%

  By the time it happened and the firing of Stanley McChrystal had largely been drained of drama. We knew this morning that he went to the White House, stayed a mere 30 minutes and left and suggesting that he would not be standing next to Obama at any microphones later that day. So when Obama finally did announce his sacking and it was expected. It was, as I finally came around to writing last night and the best move Obama had. From a constitutional perspective and Obama had to lay claim to the principle of civilian control over the military. And he had to show that he couldn't be rolled. He's let himself be rolled in the past. Now he's taken a heavy scalp and a hard one for a liberal Democrat to take. Maybe he'll develop a bit of a taste for it and maybe it'll make his political opponents (and certain world leaders) take notice. That's not a reason that has anything to do with Afghanistan, but this is politics, after all, and as political reasons go and it's a damn good one. So he did the right thing and it wasn't surprising. But then the Petraeus part really did surprise me. It's a technical demotion. It's back into the hellmouth after lately being based in Florida. It's the pressure cooker again. One can wonder how much he really wanted to do it. But when a president asks and a military man cannot say no. That's part of the deal. Here's the conventional wisdom via Politico: The choice of Petraeus also signals Obama's strong re-commitment of the Afghan strategy with a military icon whose popularity and credibility in this area is unquestioned. Now as the head of US Central Command in Tampa and Petraeus is in a position to slide into the job and pick up where McChrystal left OFF when he left Kabul abruptly last night. The choice means that Obama has prevailed over members of his cabinet and senior l When that happens, the ignition of Stanley McChrystal was drained drama mainly

  Bis es geschah und die Zündung von Stanley McChrystal war groß vom Drama abgelassen worden. Wir kannten heute morgen, dass er zum Weißen Haus ging, geblieben bloße 30 Minuten und und das Vorschlagen verließ, dass er nicht nahe bei Obama an irgendwelchen Mikrophonen später stehen würde, die Tag. So, als Obama schließlich rausschmeißendes seins verkündete und es wurde erwartet. Es war, da ich schließlich herum zum Schreiben gestern Abend kam und die beste Bewegung Obama hatte. Von einer Verfassungsperspektive und von einem Obama musste Anspruch zur Grundregel der Zivilsteuerung über dem Militär legen. Und er musste zeigen, dass er nicht gerollt werden könnte. Er ist sich ließ wird gerollt in der Vergangenheit. Jetzt hat er eine schwere Kopfhaut und ein hartes genommen, damit ein Liberaldemokrat nimmt. Möglicherweise entwickelt er eine Spitze eines Geschmacks für ihn und möglicherweise bildet er seine politische Nehmennachricht der Konkurrenten (und bestimmter Weltführer). Der ist nicht ein Grund, der alles hat, mit Afghanistan zu tun, aber dieses ist Politik, schließlich und während politische Gründe gehen und es ist ein verfluchtes gutes. So tat er die rechte Sache und sie war nicht überraschend. Aber andererseits überraschte das Petraeus Teil wirklich mich. Es ist eine technische Degradierung. Es ist zurück in das hellmouth, nachdem es kürzlich in Florida angesiedelt worden ist. Es ist der Dampfkochtopf wieder. Man kann sich wundern, wie viel er wirklich es tun wünschte. Aber, wenn ein Präsident bittet und ein Soldat kann Nr. nicht sagen. Der ist ein Teil des Abkommens. Ist hier die Volksweisheit über Politico: Die Wahl von Petraeus signalisiert auch Obamas starker nochmaliger Überantwortung der afghanischen Strategie mit einer Militärikone, deren Popularität und Glaubwürdigkeit in diesem Bereich unbestritten ist. Verließ WEG VON, jetzt, da der Kopf des US-zentralen Befehls in Tampa und in Petraeus in einer ist Position, zum in den Job zu schieben und aufzuheben, wo McChrystal als er Kabul unerwartet gestern Abend verließ. Die Wahl bedeutet, dass Obama über Mitgliedern seines Kabinetts und älteren L vorgeherrscht hat Wenn das geschieht, war die Zündung von Stanley McChrystal abgelassenes Drama hauptsächlich
