uhm.... err... uhhh.....


Its been 4 months.

That is plenty of time to decide if McCrystal is the guy for the job or if you want someone else with a different approach.

Not making a decision is the worst thing he can do.

And no. I didnt read the rest of the thread. the point is still important. This isnt about the general. It is about the decision.

But the decision is whether or not to follow the general's advice. McChrystal has been hasty in his decisions in the past. I think that's relevant. Doesn't mean he's wrong this time, but potentially tens of thousands of lives are at risk, so our President must carefully consider the options before acting.
