After a big dog and pony show in DC, they will reject McChrystal’s recommendations. Obama is probably steamed that the request was leaked. As a result, he will throw McChrystal under the bus—effectively making him look like a fool because he made Obama squirm. Instead, Obama will listen to Joe “Plugs” Biden—and then will throw him under tha bus when things don’t work out too.
Does anyone remember Bush being crucified for supposedly not listening to the commanders on the ground??

Do we ever learn?
Unfortunately, by the time Biden hits the asphalt, Afghanistan will be lost. And, Al Qaeda will have a continued base of operations... unhindered.
