THURSDAY: The seven year switch.

President Obama has replaced Afghanistan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal, after he made critical comments about the war in Rolling Stone Magazine. The rights to the interview almost went to Maxim Magazine, although McChrystal was not willing to accept their request to take his shirt off for photographs. Iraq War architect Gen. David Petraeus will take over the effort in Afghanistan, a move that has earned praise from both sides of the aisle, as well as in the aisle itself, where Sen. John McCain can often be found napping in between comments.

Vice President Biden was on hand for the president's announcement, although there is no word on how big of a deal he thinks this situation is.
