   Retired Gen. Jack Keane told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that if he were   
   Gen. Stanley McChrystal then he would resign if President Barack Obama   
   doesn't fulfill the request for more troops.   
      
   Partial transcript:   
      
     KEANE: Well, I can't speak to what General McChrystal's reaction will be.   
   I can say this, if you're a general on the ground and you believe that a   
   recommendation you made is the winning recommendation in terms of strategy,   
   that will accomplish the goals that you have been assigned, and then, you're   
   told that you can't execute that and ask the troops to go out and do   
   something else that you don't believe will accomplish those goals, that gets   
   very difficult in terms of a morale dilemma -- asking your troops to do   
   something that you believe will fail.   
      
     STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you resign?   
      
     KEANE: That would be up to him to face that. That's something personal for   
   every general.   
      
     STEPHANOPOULOS: Is that what you would do under those circumstances?   
      
     KEANE: Yes. The fact of the matter is, the president has a right to make   
   decisions. One of the recommendations they get are from generals. That's the   
   reality. The president also has a right to take information from other   
   sources to inform those decisions.

     Obama should have relieved McChrystal of his command for insubordination   
   when he spoke out in the first place.   
      
     Hell, he should be investigated and prosecuted for his role in the Tillman   
   affair. Keep in mind the bigger picture. The Tillman cover-up was used as   
   propaganda against the U.S. citizenry in order to help Bush's re-election.   
      
     It's a disgrace that, despite McChrystal's involvement in the Tillman   
   case, (1) he was promoted to General a few months ago, and (2) Obama   
   appointed him Commander of NATO operations in Afghanistan shortly   
   thereafter.   
      
     Outrageous.
