The question is not about the hit teams (in this case CIA officers
flying drones). I question the other 100,000

We all question the strategy, but I think that Patreaus will tell the
truth
to Obama and be listened to. So, we'll have to see how the planned
withdrawal turns out beginning next year.

I guess you have not been listening to Bob Woodward.
His allegation is that the Pentagon is not really telling Obama all
they know about Afghanistan.
His allegations have a nagging habit of turning out to be true.

If they aren't, then they're being insubordinate. Did they not tell Bush?


There are Bush's guys (Petreaus, Gates, Mullen). They told him what he
wanted to hear. Basically "more troops" is the only answer.

I doubt they did that. Do you have any evidence to support that argument?
All the generals were lying, but Bush new better?
