US general in Afghan war at risk of losing job

None

Gen. Stanley McChrystal's job appeared in grave jeopardy Tuesday as an infuriated President Barack Obama summoned the Afghanistan war's US commander to Washington to explain his extraordinary complaints about the president and his aides.

 

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said "the magnitude and greatness of the mistake here are profound" and repeatedly declined to say McChrystal's job was safe. "All options are on the table," he said. (AP)
