I don’t know where this article got the idea that McChrystal has threatened to resign. He has NOT. The only talk of resignation came from unknown sources who said the McChrystal THEY know would resign. McChrystal is no hero here. Not by a longshot.

Quote from article:
Three officers at the Pentagon and in Kabul told McClatchy Newspapers that the McChrystal they know would resign before he would stand behind a faltering policy that he thought would endanger his forces or the strategy.

Here is the original article:

REPOST:
McChrystal: More Forces or ‘Mission Failure’ (Drudge headline)

“McChrystal makes clear that his call for more forces is predicated on the adoption of a strategy in which troops emphasize protecting Afghans rather than killing insurgents or controlling territory. Most starkly, he says: ‘[I]nadequate resources will likely result in failure. However, without a new strategy, the mission should not be resourced.’”
The true context of McChrystal’s call, (piss be upon him,) for more Troops is in the first line of a paragraph far down the aricle.
It is NOT his goal to protect our WARRIORS.
It is NOT his goal to defeat the Taliban.
It is NOT his goal to protect the National Security of this country!

The headline for this article is GROSSLY misleading.

Me to McChrystal:
YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM! YOU ARE BETRAYING OUR WARRIORS!

ME TO THE PENTAGON: When are you going to do the right thing by our TROOPS?????

Let me repeat this over and over until everyone gets it. McChrystal got his commission by agreeing to follow obama's policy. It is HIS strategy that is failing. HE implimented the ROE change. He gives the orders and he has allowed Marines to die under fire by refusing to give them the air cover they needed.

“McChrystal makes clear that his call for more forces is predicated on the adoption of a strategy in which troops emphasize protecting Afghans rather than killing insurgents or controlling territory.

So you are “right”? and multiple media sources reporting the potential resignation of the Commanding General are all “wrong”..?

Certainly no one is pleased or happy with the apparent stalemate in Afghanistan - however it's patently obvious that obama is choosing to “stall” in terms of declaring any sort of amended strategy and then issuing orders to the military to carry out that strategy.

If you ask me, this story is a plant, designed to set McChrystal up for a confrontation with the administration. In such a situation, itll be 10 to 1, that hes fired. And the request for extra troops falls on the sword, along with McChrystal.

Sounds like an Obamba camp plant to me.
