I haven't received my Rolling Stone (I do have a subscription) yet so I will be interested in what he really said.

I actually now think he will resign and Obama will accept. I just read on MSN that McChyrstal did this before and Obama forgave him saying it was the Head of the Joint Chiefs fault (Mullans). You don't get to screw up twice.
