If true, good for him.
Did McChrystal plan the whole thing?
Can’t wait for his book.
Good. After bammy accepts it, McChrystal can speak freely. I am very interested in what he has to say.
He got out in front of being fired.
McCrystal leaves having made his case and one-up over the Won.
CNN, no confirmation yet.
FoxNews, no idea.
Good. Now he can speak out.
OK, but was it HIS idea or His Ineptitude’s?
“Kenyan in Thief” wants to get some mileage out of this piece of news. He is one big POS.
Good for him. That’ll steal some of Zero’s thunder.
Good, now he can speak freely on the fraud that is the Obama Administration. I dont know why some got so outraged, what he said was true. Obama is a big fraud and a dumb ass, oh what a shock

One Way Obama Could Save Face . . . [Daniel Foster]
Refuse McChrystal’s resignation. The general is a man of honor, and no idiot. There’s a good chance he’ll show up in Washington with a resignation letter in hand. President Obama could refuse it, and then go to the public and say something like, “our efforts in Afghanistan are too important to let an unfortunate lapse of judgment like this undermine them. So I told General McChrystal that he must finish his task, and that I would not accept his resignation at this time.”
This might allow Obama to look like the bigger man while having it both ways. He’d avoid adding instability to his command structure at a crucial juncture in the war in Afghanistan, and avoid looking weak by not dismissing an insubordinate general.
The messaging would be: McChrystal knew he goofed up, and came to me with his gun and his badge. But this was my call, and I did what was best for the country.

I hope so!
Obama will come out looking much worse than McChrystal. That’s what matters. I feel like I am seeing Obama’s presidency (how I hate typing those words!) crumble before my eyes! Beautiful sight!
Duncan Boothby RESIGNS: McChrystal Aide Steps Down In Wake Of Rolling Stone Piece
Duncan Boothby, a “senior media aide” to Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has resigned in the wake of an explosive Rolling Stone expose that features McChrystal’s staff openly criticizing key members of the Obama administration.
The Washington Post reported that Boothby, a civilian press aide, “was heavily involved in arranging access for journalist Michael Hastings to McChrystal and his staff this year so Hastings could write the profile, titled ‘The Runaway General.’”
Methinks McChristal wanted out. He also may have seen the writing on the wall regarding his future. This whole thing is becoming Vietnam Redux with politicians running the military strategy and short term thinking for political purposes.
What's wrong Barry does McChrystal have your butt over a Chicago mud hole? Barry is Screeeeeerred that he may publicly say how stupid his your war rules are that gets our troops killed after his retirement.
Tomorrow, McChrystal should let it be known that he wants his extra 30 to 40 thousand troops and change his asinine ROEs.
If Joe Klein told me the sky is blue, I’d go outside to verify it.
