Gen. McChrystal: Situation in Afghanistan is no longer deteriorating

By GottaLaff

Boyoboy, Democratic administrations are just the worst at foreign policy and national security. We really need more Rushpublics calling the shots:

The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan said Thursday that security there is no longer deteriorating, a view that represents his most optimistic assessment yet.

Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, meeting with reporters in advance of NATO talks here, pointed to signs of stability that, while difficult to quantify, indicate that Afghans also see improvements in many areas of commerce and daily life.

That's bad news.

For the GOP.

"I feel differently now," McChrystal said. "I am not prepared to say we have turned the corner. The situation is serious, but we [made] significant progress in setting conditions in 2009 and we will make real progress in 2010."

Think they'll listen to the commander on the ground?

Me neither.

That said, when can we get out of there?
