McChrystal: I Totally Agree With Gates and Jones

Consider this pseudo-controversy ended. Now that Defense Secretary Bob Gates has joined in with national security adviser Jim Jones to remind Gen. Stanley McChrystal of the virtues of restraining public advice ahead of the Afghanistan strategy review, the McChrystal camp endorses the message.

From Lt. Col Tadd Sholtis, McChrystal’s spokesman in Kabul: “General McChrystal concurs with the Secretary and shares his perspective that the President’s military and civilian policy advisers need to provide candid but private advice.”
