Biden vs. McChrystal?
"The vice president, whom he sent to Afghanistan for some on-the-ground reporting even before taking office, is pushing for a complete strategic shift: from nation-building in Afghanistan to focusing more on special forces in the region to fight al Qaeda. And his new military chief on the scene, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, is advocating something completely different: a force increase of up to 40,000 troops. Another surge."
So let me make sure I've got this right. Biden (no time in the military) is suggesting "focusing more on special forces in the region to fight al Qaeda."
On the other hand, GEN McChrystal, probably the most successful, aggressive "Special Forces" commander in modern history, is suggesting that won't work. Hm...who should I trust on this one...?
