From The Corner:
while it is no doubt true that committed partisans of the President would have criticized McClellan even if he had resigned and then spoken out, that does not diminish the force of an honorable resignation — especially compared to what we have here. Further, those complaining today are merely holding McClellan to the standard he personally applied to Richard Clarke, whom McClellan derided for Clarke’s purported lapse in waiting two years to cash in with an election-year tell-all book rather than speaking out in a timely fashion.
