Unfortunately, Obama is not Truman either. He does not want to win Afghanistan or Iraq, he wants to survive them. If Vietnam (Beirut, Somalia, etc.) showed us anything, the US cannot fight to not lose. If we are not going to win, then we need to leave. Now.

General McArthur McChrystal has bared his life to Rolling Stone magazine. There is little doubt that McChrystal will either have to resign or be fired: a general cannot publicly criticize the president like he did.
Unfortunately, Obama is not Truman either. He does not want to win Afghanistan or Iraq, he wants to survive them. If Vietnam (Beirut, Somalia, etc.) showed us anything, the US cannot fight to not lose. If we are not going to win, then we need to leave. Now.
