NEWS ALERT: TOP AMERICAN COMMANDER IN AFGHANISTAN, GEN. MCCHRYSTAL, SAYS STRAGEGY IS "FAILING."


General Stanley McChrystal, the top US Commander in Afghanistan, says the current mission in Afghanistan is failing and he wants President Obama and Congress to send him more troops. The mission in Afghanistan keeps changing and the current position is to train Afghans to take control of their own destiny. The United States military is also facing a very delicate balancing act because many of the Afghan population feel the recent election was corrupt and the United States is on the side of the current government. The situation in Afghanistan is spiraling out of control and nobody in Washington or the military seems to have a clear cut idea on what to do next in Afghanistan. The Republicans are pushing for more troops because even though it would cost many American lives the Republicans would rather see young Americans die in Afghanistan if it is going to mean the Afghanistan war is a debacle under President Obama.
