"By this time next year, one year from now, I believe I'll be able to tell you that the strategy is clearly working," said McChrystal.Did you comprehend what the General said? I even bolded and italicized it for you. 'We now have clarity on our mission that we have never had before'.
"I believe six months after that, by summer 2011, we will be able to convince the Taliban, Afghans who live in threatened areas, and our own selves together that the strategy is working and... we are going to be successful."
"I'm very, very confident about the future... I think we now have clarity on our mission that we have never had before," he said.
You can bet our Generals are very happy Bush and Cheney are gone. McChrystal just confirmed that.
