Ask The Man Who Knows

If you were going to pick a general to command a counter-terrorism operation relying on the precise use of Special Forces teams, Rangers, SEALs, AC-130 gunships, and all the other paraphernalia of high-end counter-terrorism missions, that man would be General Stan McChrystal.

So if we are going to have a debate about whether to use that approach or a counter-insurgency approach to pursuing our interests in Afghanistan, he is the man to ask. And we appear to have his answer.
