Waiting for Obama’s Afghanistan Plan

I will listen to the military commanders on the ground and act accordingly.
– Barack H. Obama during Campaign for President

The military commander:

In London, Gen McChrystal, who heads the 68,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well as the 100,000 Nato forces, flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.

He told the Institute of International and Strategic Studies that the formula, which is favoured by Vice-President Joe Biden, would lead to “Chaos-istan”.

When asked whether he would support it, he said: “The short answer is: No.”

He went on to say: “Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support.”

… and the President‘s Plan for the “good war” is… is… is… is, we’re waiting.
