President Barack Obama announced his choice of Gen. David Petraeus to replace Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, saying he made the decision with regret but “with the certainly that it’s the right thing for the mission in Afghanistan, for our military and for our country.” He said he made the decision not out of a sense of “personal insult” over comments by McChrystal and his aides published in Rolling Stone, but said, “The conduct does not meet the standards that should be set by a commanding general.”
