President Barack Obama has picked General David Petraeus to replace Gen. Stanly McChrystal as the commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

The appointment came after President Obama fired, Gen. McChrystal over criticizing White House officials in an interview with Rolling Stone.

General McChrystal mocked a string of top Washington officials, including President Barack Obama.

McChrystal also indirectly criticized Obama, calling him "uncomfortable and intimidated."



"If this hostility, even aversion, had only been shown towards the Jews at one period and in one country, it would be easy to unravel the limited causes of this anger, but this race has been hated by all peoples among whom it has established itself. It must be therefore, since the enemies of the Jews belonged to the most diverse races, lived in countries very distant from each other that the general cause of anti-Semitism has always resided in Israel itself and not in those who have fought against Israel."
