What I think will happen is that McCrystal will tender his resignation and the president will decline it. I think that's about the best move either of them could make.
McC: Sir, I apologise and I hereby resign from my post. Pres: Stanley I don't accept. There's too much work to do and you're the man that needs to get it done. We can hash out our differences at another time but for now I need you on the job. McC: Yessir, I understand. Pres: Medic from HOF is handsome. McC: Finally something we can agree on sir.
