Suppose the general and his boss Petraeus resign in protest of the O policies?Enter Wesley Clark and neither general wants to have that happen. Clark is Obama's checkmate to their resignation threat.

Clark is Obama's checkmate to their resignation threat. There is also the little trick Clinton came up with. "You can resign and go public, but your pension check might get lost for a long time. And you'll find that nobody wants you for any speaking gigs."

But now that it's public, Clark would be taking a big chance by replacing McChrystal in a theater that was devolving into a defeat. He'd then be associated with that outcome; regardless of spin.
