McChrystal: I've "Compromised the Mission"

Written by FrumForum Editors on Wednesday June 23, 2010

ABC News reports that in his meeting with President Obama, General McChrystal admitted that he "compromised the mission."

The White House  is reviewing a list of possible replacements for Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who admitted to top Obama  administration officials that he "compromised the mission" by making disparaging comments in a Rolling Stone  interview.

Retired general says McChrystal needs to prove his competence as a commander.

The embattled general was seen walking into his house in Ft. McNair, Washington, D.C., a source told ABC News, after meeting with President Obama for about 30 minutes this morning. McChrystal did not attend the White House national security meeting scheduled for late morning, and administration officials were mum on the conversation that took place between Obama and McChrystal.

Sources said the White House asked the Pentagon for a list of possible replacements, even though administration officials insisted a decision on whether McChrystal will keep his job would not come until after he has made his case to the president in their face-to-face meeting.
