U.S. General in Afghanistan Relieved for Criticizing Karzai -- Wall Street Journal
KABUL—A senior U.S. military commander in Afghanistan was relieved of duty Friday night for making disparaging comments about the country's president and its top leadership, the U.S.-led coalition said.
The decision to remove Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization mission to train Afghan forces, was made by the coalition commander, U.S. Gen. John Allen.
Gen. Fuller told the news web site Politico in an interview published Thursday that Afghanistan's leaders were ungrateful for U.S. assistance and "isolated from reality." The U.S. has given some $20 billion in 2010 and 2011 to train and equip Afghanistan's security forces, on top of many billions more in development assistance.
