Isn’t he the guy that O appointed? He said he could do the job with existing resources.

Maybe we were lied to again?

McChrystal took over in June 2009, just 3 months ago!

FWIW, Michael Yon has also posted Kagans' report (from AEI) re: AfPak. It reflects what McChrystal (and many others) are saying. Bambi better get off his butt and get moving:

McCrystal was moved from Iraq to Afghanistan, he hasn’t had the job for very long at all.

He has done his investigations and assessments, this is his recommendation of those findings. If Obama wants a political answer to the problem he evidently picked the wrong guy to handle it, McCrystal is a man who wants to fight and win, either that is the plan or he walks evidently.

Good for him.

"He said he could do the job with existing resources."

Was that before or after the 0 changed the ROE to tie our soldiers hands behind their backs?

Our brilliant, military-devoid president changed the mission.

“Isn’t he the guy that O appointed? He said he could do the job with existing resources.”

That was before the ROE were changed. With the current ROE a million additional troops couldn’t win it.

Bailing out of Iraq allowed Afghanistan to resupply and bring more fighters of terrorists to the battle field.

Unintended consequences of zeros’s cut and run.

We had the country under control for a while, now zero is allowing the soviet union to back terrorists there and put more troops on the ground against us.

0 will not put more troops in there, the general is smart to leave, he took a winning war and it is now turning into a loser with the new obama rules for engagement and policies. Why go down with a sinking ship? The SS Titanic Obama is a loser ...
