Eikenberry, McChrystal to Testify Together

If, as was reported, Gen. Stanley McChrystal and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry really were at an impasse over the question of a troop increase to Afghanistan, they’re making a very public symbol of harmony. Next Tuesday, at 1:30, the two men will testify side by side to the Senate Armed Services Committee. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who asked Secretaries Robert Gates and Hillary Rodham Clinton about the general’s relationship with the ambassador, will get a chance to hear it from both men themselves.
