Interesting article on the situation with McChrystal. Personally, I have mixed feelings about the situation. On the one hand, McChrystal is reputed to be a great strategist (especially with regards to counter insurgency). On the other, in the military, you are not supposed to belittle the CIC and civilian leadership in the public eye.
I hope Obama looks at McChyrstal's offering to resign as enough of a conciliatory gesture. I hope he also looks to what the Afghans think of McChrystal. The blog below is at least one opinion that should be considered if it is the prevailing view.

For those who haven't seen the Rolling Stones article yet... also a good read.
