"McChrystal makes clear that his call for more forces is predicated on the adoption of a strategy in which troops emphasize protecting Afghans rather than killing insurgents or controlling territory. Most starkly, he says: '[I]nadequate resources will likely result in failure. However, without a new strategy, the mission should not be resourced.'"

The true context of McChrystal's call, (piss be upon him,) for more Troops is in the first line of a paragraph far down the aricle.
It is NOT his goal to protect our WARRIORS.
It is NOT his goal to defeat the Taliban.
It is NOT his goal to protect the National Security of this country!

The headline for this article is GROSSLY misleading.

Me to McChrystal:
YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM! YOU ARE BETRAYING OUR WARRIORS!

ME TO THE PENTAGON: When are you going to do the right thing by our TROOPS?????

McChrystal has never been in combat.

He is one of the perfumed princes of the pentagon.
