General McCrystal has weighed in about the "Biden proposal" to scale down the war by relinquishing the battle against the Taliban and narrowing the focus to hunting down AQ.
McCrystal says no. I'm quoting him from the NY Times: "You have to navigate from where you are, not from where you wish to be. A strategy that does not leave Afghanistan in a stable position is probably a short-sighted strategy."
He says the scaled down approach is nothing but a formula for "Chaos-istan."
Some of our SOF/SF folk here have stated that we should return to the type of very successful warfare they were conducting in 2001-2002. How do you feel about the General's statements? Is he wrong? Is Biden right? Is the answer somewhere in the middle?
