I know this topic is starting to shift, but the whole "Falling on his sword" theory, definitely brings up some possibilities. But as we all know, it's how the future looks back on you that will determine if you were right or wrong. All of these theories will be answered in the next 12 months. How? It all depends on what type of job Petraeus does.
1. If everything Petraeus does is "Different" or "Opposite" direction than where McChrystal was heading; McChrystal will be seen simply as a dissident.
2. If Petraeus follows similar direction that McChrystal was going, and "MORE QUESTIONS" are brought up about the Obama administration and their involvement and capabilities; then people will look back, and McChrystal will be vindicated; and the "Problem" will be seen as one that rests with Obama and his administration.
Should be interesting to see how this turns out.
