If he does resign, it will be such a huge story that the MIA media in this Country will have to cover. I would expect at the same time to see Generals Petreaus and Odierno resign in protest. I would love to see one of the three resign and tell Obama that I will see you in the 2012 election — won’t happen but I can dream!
There is an article floating around that says Gen Petreaus no longer has much of a voice at the Security meetings in the White House. President Bush used to have him brief for 20-30 minutes and now he just sits there. I was reading it last night while looking for info for a blog.
I wish I could agree, but I don’t think the MSM would give any resignations much play.
None of these Generals will resign.
They are too political in nature, too impressed with themselves, etc. to resign. They may get fired, but they will not resign, IMHO.
The place more value on their careers and retirement to a cozy defense contractor job. The troops are far down their list of priorities.
