Gen. Stanley McChrystal, walking into the Pentagon this morning for a meeting with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, denied reports that he’s already offered to resign his post as general in charge of the Afghanistan War.

“Come on, you know better than that. No!” he told an NBC News reporter.

Time reported yesterday that McChrystal had offered to resign.

McChrystal has reportedly already met with Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen. He is scheduled to meet with the president at 9:45 a.m. ET.

McChrystal is in hot water after he and aides criticized the Obama administration in a Rolling Stone story.
