And we need 40,000 more?
Allied troops already outnumber Taliban 12-1
BRUSSELS - There are already more than 100,000 international troops in Afghanistan working with 200,000 Afghan security forces and police. It adds up to a 12-1 numerical advantage over Taliban rebels, but it hasn't led to anything close to victory.
We outnumber the enemy 12 to 1 and McChrystal says we need 40,000 more troops? Maybe we just need one different general and a war policy that works.

What a bunch of bullshit! Turn our Marines loose and they can defeat an enemy when they're outnumbered 12 to 1.

Get rid of General Kumbaya. Put Matthew Hoh in command. Cut the nonsense, kill al-Qaeda and get the hell home!
