Why did the SecDef ask the POTUS to commit additional troops? Wasn’t the SecDef authorized to make decisions on how much force to use where? Did the SecDef have the statutory authority to deploy those additional 30,000 troops BEFORE the POTUS agreed to commit additional troops? What statute would give the SecDef authority to deploy the troops after Presidential approval, and what statute requires the President’s approval first?

Add to that B.T., WHY was Gen. McCeystal meeting your usurper “pResident” on AF1 at Kastrup Airport, face to face???
