As for McCrystal's sorry butt we spent a great deal of manpower and treasure in Iraq and frankly we just cant spare the manpower to fight another endless war in Afghanistan. On top of that the recently mineral desposits that had right wingers foaming at the mouth dreaming of extended war are now considered too costly to extract by international companies.

Therefore its not worth sending more troops to die for a country that is unlikely to stabilize for decades and likely can only be temporarily muzzled by having drones hovering like vultures all over the place. Troops don't mean a darn thing compared to a squad of drones in such a conflict.
