You're deluded. Everyone involved has acknowledged she was forced to
resign.




Why? Something is fishy about this whole story.

Ms. Sherrod has demonstrated that she is an intelligent woman with years
of public service experience. Seems to me that the first logical question
she (or anyone) would ask when request to resign a job would be, "Why?"
How many people would immediately resign with no reason given for the
request? If the reason was given, why didn't she challenge the accuracy of
the edited video - without submitting her resignation.

Doesn't make sense.

Sure it does. She was technically appointed to the position, so she can be
technically fired. She was asked to resign, which is pretty standard
practice. There was a lot of pressure to do so. They called her and asked
her to do it immediately over the phone. Same with McCrystal. He was forced
to resign. Sure, he could have said no, but that wasn't protocol.

You also have to remember that she probably didn't know what exactly was on
the edited vid.
