A unique take on the General Stanley McChrystal saga on, of all places, the Colbert Report.  Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings believes President Obama wanted to get rid of McChrystal and used his article as an excuse to do so. (Mediaite has the video)

I didn’t fire McChrystal. The White House fired McChrystal. I believe they used this opportunity to get rid of someone they weren’t happy with.
