Obama to send “only” 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Not 80,000 or even 40,000 as McChrystal requested
According to Fox News, tonight’s “announcement” and photo op at Fort Bragg by Obama will only yield 30,000 more troops for the “war of necessity” as Obama campaigned on. General Stanley McChrystal outlayed plans to Obama (back in August remember?) to win the war or risk failure. The main plan called for anywhere between 80,000 and 100,000 new troops for Afghanistan. The half-assed planned called for 40,000. So the man with so much not “experience” in being commander in chief has undercut has hand picked general and will send only 75% of what McChrystal’s half-assed plan required.
