First off, the amount of men he asked for was not what he got.
I'm wondering about McCrystal's claims. Was he full of crap and just told them what they wanted to hear at the time? I find that hard to believe, given his history, but in light of what happened more recently - that whole episode did provide him an immediate "out".
