Bill Gertz on Afghan Troop Speech

He will be caving in to his liberal base in Congress and although he will authorize 30,000 troops, it will be conditional support for Gen. Stanley McChrystal's request for more troops for a counterinsurgency strategy that requires large numbers of forces to win support of the Afghan people against the Taliban.
