He said he felt betrayed, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why.

I read the other day that Obama is sticking to his timeline of a pullout by Jul of 11.

That's not accurate, the plan proposed by the military (McChrystal) was with additional troops, they (he) would have secured the key areas by July '11. Then Obama would order a drawdown of our troops, as they were replaced by UN and Afghan security, to hold the territory McChrystal secured. The Afghan's security troops have shown they can't, or won't, do that, so I personally feel the whole plan will fail. We can take any territory we want, but can't protect the population once we've got it. The key to success in Iraq, was having the Iraqis step up to protect themselves, once we'd kicked ass.
