While the Defense Department inspector general’s report was only made public under a Freedom of Information Act request on Monday, it was completed earlier, on April 8. Four days later, on April 12, the White House announced that General McChrystal was invited back to public service to help oversee a high-profile administration initiative in support of military families.
An administration spokesman said Monday that the invitation to General McChrystal to help guide the new program was extended before the White House knew the results of the Pentagon investigation.
This program will be headed by Michelle Obama. The timing is BS ... this is CYA time at the WH. Further McChrystal, given the circumstances, should have declined.
