IMO “India Reacts” is not exactly the most kosher of sources and I would approach their reporting with caution.

Having said that there are enough reports around of a spat between Lt. Gen Safdar Hussein and Lt. Gen David Barno :

War and peace in Waziristan

US military claim angers Pakistan

A spat added to by Afghan National Army Chief of Operations Lt. Gen. Sher Muhammad Karimi :

Row intensifies over operations in border area

Spat with Afghanistan is unnecessary

That brings up the question has Barno / The American’s asked for the removal of Lt. Gen Hussein ?

There certainly are grounds for speculation in that direction given the allegations of infiltration of Terrorists from Pakistan into Afghanistan but that is a step away from actually asking for his removal an event for which I have seen no other confirmatory source. Then again there are also precedents of the American's demanding and obtaining personnel changes in Pakistan.

Wait and watch..........
