I'm not a good tea reader, but this sounds like McChrystal is out:

Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal left the White House after meeting with President Obama for about 20 minutes, departing ahead of a meeting on the war in Afghanistan later Wednesday morning, but there was no immediate word on whether he would keep his job as the top American commander there.

The White House said that Mr. Obama would make a statement from the Rose Garden at 1:30 p.m.

We'll know in a few minutes.

    US sources tell NBC News President Obama has relieved Gen. McChrystal of his command. NBC's Chuck Todd also reports from the White House that President Obama accepted McChrystal's resignation.
