Obama, McChrystal and Afghanistan

When it comes to Afghanistan, what separates President Barack Obama and Gen. Stanley McChrystal?

Not much. Neither wants to destroy the Taliban -- just tamp it down to the point where an as-yet non-existent Afghan state can function. Which is why -- prediction time -- McChrystal won't quit when Obama gives him fewer forces than McChrystal is asking for.
