Breaking: General Stanley McChrystal tenders his resignation
A senior Capitol Hill source tells me that General Stanley McChrystal had tendered his resignation to President Barack Obama and that the White House is actively discussing a replacement who could be quickly confirmed by the Senate.
The source said that among the names being touted as possible successors are General James Mattis, the outgoing head of the US Joint Forces Command and due to retire after being passed over as US Marine Corps commander, and Lieutenant General William Caldwell, commander of Nato’s Training Mission in Afghanistan.
Of course, offering to resign is not the same as actually resigning and it remains to be seen whether Mr Obama will accept the resignation.

I agree with you but he did reportedly vote for 0bama. That alone says something about McChrstal's competency.
Thanks for the ping!
As soon as Wanda Sykes can snag one of Michael Jackson's old uniforms, she's good to go
Took him wayyy to long to come clean though...
I bet there are a lot of people on this forum who don’t recognize who this is...
This should be fun...I ain’t sayin’ nothin’!!! hehehe
I doubt he voted for O.
That’s why Mattis is unlikely to get the gig.
He said he did.
I haven’t seen anyone quote him
I would ditto all your comments.
From the Rolling Stone article.
Right you are. Not a quote, just a simple statement. No documentation to back it up.
Presser by Obama on McChrystal set for 1:30 pm edt.
I guess we will never know for sure. I just don’t have a reason to doubt the article on this point.
Per Fox News banner: Gen David Petraeus to replace Gen McChrystal.
