Not Getting It

Gen. McChrystal this morning denied to an NBC reporter that he’d already offered to resign. “Come on, you know better than that. No!” he said when asked about the report in Time. Whether he has or hasn’t offered his resignation yet, McChrystal really doesn’t seem to get that he should really just stop talking to the press at this point and reserve his words for the President and Secretary of Defense. Anything he says is liable to be misconstrued, as that statement certainly is, and just tends to show more that he doesn’t get what’s going on.
