"confidential assessment"

That's a dig by wapo.

"risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible"

Expect to see procrastination from the democrats then.

When the Generals asked for troops Bush gave them troops because they knew best. You are either going to fight a war or you are not. This is the good war remember Mr. Obama thank God others that made decisions in your chair did not buckle to political pressures and did the right thing.

so if it was confidential..who leaked it and why?

And isn’t this some kind of crime to leak this kind of info?

No, this is cover for Obama with his “people” or should I say sheeple. He’s going to send the troops and always was. Afghanistan, unlike Iraq, so the Dem line goes, is the right war.
