I think Obama has no expertise in military affairs and cmpletely relies on the Generals. Obama gave General McChrystal 30,000 of the 40,000 troops he said he needed to win. With the 30,000 additional troops we have seen little to no change inA Afghan.
O'bummer should rely on his military commanders but he didnt.
- He didnt give the number of troops his General asked for.
- He took way to long thinking about it.
- He imposed "rules of engagement" that will make it very difficult, if not impossible to win the war.
-Didnt communicate well with his commander in the field often not talking to him for months straight.
Stanley McChrystal was commander & part of the forces that took down Zarqawi in Iraq, he is one of
Americas finest. O'bummer hadnt run a hot dog stand until he ran for office.
He shouldnt be removed in the middle of a war right before a major offense is to begin.
McChrystal was no dummy & probably saw the writing on the wall........
An Administration not committed to winning the war, already talking about leaving before a victory
could be acheived.
Troops demoralized because they know they cant win with the rules & low level of commitmant of there
leadership.
There is more to this story than meets the eye, I think Stan McChrystal saw that his commander was going
about this half ass, and decided he wasnt going to have any part of it. Having his name go down in history
as the general in command of what is going to probably be a real loser, the way they are going about it.
And for Obama to base such a huge decision on the word of an magazine writer really makes you wonder if there really wasnt more to this that hasnt been heard yet.
