“Let me repeat this over and over until everyone gets it. McChrystal got his commission by agreeing to follow obama’s policy.
“It is HIS strategy that is failing. HE implimented the ROE change. He gives the orders and he has allowed Marines to die under fire by refusing to give them the air cover they needed.
“McChrystal makes clear that his call for more forces is predicated on the adoption of a strategy in which troops emphasize protecting Afghans rather than killing insurgents or controlling territory. Most starkly, he says: ‘[I]nadequate resources will likely result in failure. However, without a new strategy, the mission should not be resourced.’”
