According to the analysis by James Bone in yesterday’s Times General McChrystal is a victim of Eyjafjallajökull. A simple 2 day access agreement turned into a boozy night in a Paris bar & a boozy bus trip to Berlin as the European air space was closed.
So just an unlucky break for heroic leader? More Icelandic revenge?
More like an occasion for the reason, when you read all the background to the climax.
