Update/correction: McChrystal offers to submit resignation
Edited on Tue Jun-22-10 04:49 PM by catgirl
The Huffington Post reports this information was tweeted on CNN. Details to follow.

Update: the source says he has offered to resign. The White House will ultimately
decide his fate.

UPDATE: Gen. Stanley McChrystal has offered to resign his position in the wake of an explosive Rolling Stone interview, according to Time magazine's Joe Klein.

Appearing on CNN on Tuesday afternoon, Klein said, "I think he's probably going to lose his job. A little bit of news: I was just talking to a very reliable source who tells me that McChrystal has submitted his resignation and it's going to be up to the president...to accept it or not tomorrow." After the television appearance, Klein clarified that his source says McChrystal has offered to resign, but has not officially submitted his resignation. More details soon.

5. Added update with a clarification

Who knows, CNN may have been itching to be the first to report this- without
having all the facts, which actually turned out to be the case.

3. If he's being forced to resign, he HAS been fired.

And if he's meeting Obama in person when they usually meet by teleconference, he's been fired on the spot.

Besides, Fox can't hire him without a good recommendation.

:evilgrin:

8. Seems Obama has no choice given the nature of the offense committed..
I suspect he will be gone soon after the WH meeting.

12. Don't accept his resignation. Fire him. Drop his pension. Make him pay back bonuses.
Treat him like we do the real soldiers.
