...President against sending more troops until the Afghan government cleaned up its act. General Stanley McChrystal deserves a Teddy as well, for seeing clearly the problems with the Afghan mission, reporting his misgivings honestly and then working with a new President to create a new campaign plan that, we must hope, will turn the tide...
