Why does the "best orator" use so many words to communicate so little substance?
Perhaps you simply have a comprehension problem? Or it could have helped if you simply took your head out of your ass?
did you find that to be helpful?
The original desire of McCrystal was 140,000 troops. He was told to modify that request by the administration; that he could not even hope for more than 40,000. They will give him 30,000.
It's a death sentence for our troops there, combined with the promise to have us out of there on a certain date (hey, close to election time, go figure). Instead of sending troops to actually solve the problem, he's just sending a few to keep them busy and kill them (by them I mean our guys) off so he can proclaim it a defeat and be hailed as a savior when he finally brings the poor souls he refused to help back.
The military DESPISES Obama. And this is why. He's willing to set them up for death and failure for his political purposes.

VaYank and I have BOTH expressed our disagreement with sending more troops to Afghanistan - it also appears that we BOTH oppose BS, bumper-sticker mentality, political smear-mongering.
Got some substantial? Got anything to back it up? Let's hear it. Got nothing but empty rhetoric and/or slogans? You're gonna hear from us.
I thought we have 68,000 there now. Plus 40,000 would be 108,000?No, you dope! McCrystal's original request was for 40,000 - to bring our troop levels to 140,000!

But I'm willing to look at whatever anyone can produce on the numbers.
I've asked Allie repeatedly to supply the source of his/her numbers to no avail. I personally don't find undocumented "facts" and unsupported crystal ball assesments and speculations very persuasive.

We're not the only military force there.

And because there's a date on it, the terrorists will just bide their time until we leave, then engage in whole-sale slaughter.
I read his orgional request was for 40,000 also. He will get 30,000 and with 10,000 from the Euros that will make his 40,000.
Since he only has 18 months he better get crackin.

Yes, McChrystal's request was for the new deployments to begin in early 2010 and while that is pushing things - the DoD has responded that they are confident they can comply.
