McCrystal Resigns

Aw. I never did got around to setting up a poll. Should he resign? Should he be fired? When will he be fired? When will he resign?
A lot of blogger speculation that he did it on purpose to avoid getting stuck with his own failed Afghanistan strategy.
Anyhoo, here's a little Kos analysis of other things in the Rolling Stone story.

Josh Marshall says of course he resigned. But will they accept it?

It's being reported that Gen. McChrystal has submitted his resignation to President Obama and Secretary Gates. And that's being played in some publications as meaning McChrystal's out.
Not even close. It's entirely possible that McCrystal will be out this afternoon. But in the present circumstances McChrystal submitting his resignation is a given; it is absolutely essential for him to do that. He has no choice.
The question is whether Obama and Gates choose to accept. His submitting his resignation simply isn't the bombshell some are presenting it as.
