what is wrong with McChrystal asking for a bigger force to fight the war with? Thats supposedly what Obama promised us when he was campaigning.
we've gone from 32,000 to 48,250
so can we at least talk about the FACTS (and not the hyper-partisan political rhetoric) of the issue?
Or does your desire to give Obama a black eye trump the facts and the troops?
Just give the link Nodog.google it like I did - it's public info - no secret
you wouldn't believe what I provided anyway - find it for yourself and you'll trust it more
How many top raking generals did President Cheyney ignore in the days leading up to the invasion of Iraq, again?
Ignoring the excellent military advise of generals is what politicians in power tend to do, folks.

I want to see the details of those numbers. Source, please.

So Obama is no different?
No better?
Are you simply giving the Obama administration a carte blanche excuse, because "that's what politicians do"?
That's not how it works for honest brokers in discussion. Your assumption about what I would believe or not is very paranoid.
What is more troubling is that it appears the now growing liberal attack campaign against McChrystal stems from simple defense of Obama - not what is best for the troops, the Afghan campaign, or longer term international policy.
These people appear to place devotion to Obama above all else...
Naturally, party before country - the liberal way.
Yes and how long will it be before the Liberal cretins start attacking and smearing the man's children? Petraeus,Palin,and now this honorable man. What a shame. Lets just hope the American People don't buy into this latest despicable Liberal smear campaign.

Well, I never said he didn't send in more troops. We all know more were sent.Actually - one source lists the current level at 68,000
CNSNews.com - 43 U.S. Troops Have Died in Afghanistan Since Gen. McChrystal Called for Reinforcements
(a decidedly conservative source) so it may have changed - most of the sources I found listed the current level at 48,250.
Anyway - do a little homework for yourself and make up your own mind - just don't buy into what some message board poster claims anyway. The notion that Obama promised more troops but didn't deliever may stoke your biased fires - but check it out first.
Thank you. And to clarify, I have never said that more weren't sent. I HAVE said that more are currently requested and have been since before Labor Day. Send them to help those on the ground based on the recs of those on the ground, or get them out. But pissing around for a month is a disservice to those on the ground.Actually - one source lists the current level at 68,000

Tell ya' what, lil' girl.Tell ya what kid, you go call any of the 8,000 from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade or any of the 4,000 from the Army's 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division a pencil pusher to his face ....
I'm confused by your thinking that the general doesn't have my confidence. Unlike some others, he is far more knowledgeable in military strategy than I am (and more than the President). I have fine confidence in him.Thank you. And to clarify, I have never said that more weren't sent. I HAVE said that more are currently requested and have been since before Labor Day.

Agree - to a point. But NO ONE gets carte blanche to expect every last request to be honored. But if your general doesn't have your confidence - replace him.
