I think that Patreus had a little sit down with Obama and told him how it was going to be. I believe he warned him that if he didn’t get his way in Afghanistan that Obama would regret it in a big way. I also think that the Military, as a whole, would back Patreus 100%, not matter which way he would go. They have had it with this so called CIC. The Military is tired of this conflict and they want it over with.
The problem Obama has is.....what is he going to do with over 600,000 troops back in the U.S? There are no jobs for them. They can vote when they get home and he knows which way they will vote. I would be surprised if this thing lasted another two years.
