KABUL, Afghanistan — The top US commander in Afghanistan has apologized for a magazine profile in which he criticizes the US administration.
An article out this week in “Rolling Stone’’ magazine depicts General Stanley McChrystal as a lone wolf on the outs with many important figures in the Obama administration and unable to convince even some of his soldiers that his strategy can win the war.
McChrystal said in a statement issued today that the article “was a mistake reflecting poor judgment.’’
He said he has enormous respect for the Obama administration, and the piece fell short of his principles of personal honor and professional integrity.
