Obama is going to be criticized on Afghanistan, but HE needs to make a decision. I have said all along it is a very difficult decision, but I would give the generals the troops. The problem is, although it would make sense for him to think it out, it makes us look weak and confused. I say we are already in the war, backing out will make us look weak, and just because we send extra troops doesn't mean we can't bring them home later. I think McCrystal has a strategy, and we should give him a chance to win the war.
Once you get into a war, you need to try to win it, and this certainly isn't vietnam. The numbers are nowhere close. I think we should support McCrystal and give him what he asked for.
