True, but look at the uproar from John McCain whenever someone suggest that
we pullout.

The only reason Obama is letting this go on is because he will be crucified by the
conservatives otherwise. And it seems some dems feel the same.
It was Gen McChrystal, who voted for Obama, that spit on Joe Biden's suggestion
to scale back troops and use more targeted attacks to wind down the war.

That was the beginning of McChrystals firing.
