Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at London's School of Oriental and African Studies, says the interview was a major gaffe.
伦敦大学东方及非洲研究学院国际研究和外交中心主任普勒什说，这次采访是一次重大的失言。
"It is not a good thing for senior officers to be making derogatory remarks about their commanders, their political superiors, in any kind of setting, certainly not in a formal setting and certainly not when the news media are present," Plesch said.
他说：“高级官员在任何情况下对他们的指挥官和政治上级作出贬损的言论都不是一件好事，特别是在正式场合和有媒体出席的场合。”
NATO has released a statement which says the Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has full confidence in General McChrystal and his strategy in Afghanistan. The statement describes the Rolling Stone article as "unfortunate", but adds - "it is just an article."
北约发表了一份声明说，北约秘书长拉斯穆森对麦克里斯托尔及他的阿富汗战略抱有充分的信心。声明说，《滚石》杂志的这篇文章是“令人遗憾的”，但是补充说，“这不过是一篇文章而已”。
