No immediate plans for troops, I’ll wait until he’s asked. :

Sources: McChrystal Wants Up to 40,000 More Troops in Afghanistan

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is privately requesting between 30,000 and 40,000 more troops, a request that has produced “sticker shock” and “huge resistance” among key lawmakers, sources told FOX News.

Congressional liberals who led the charge against the Iraq war are starting to turn their attention to Afghanistan, putting pressure on the Obama administration to scale back even as it prepares to consider a likely request to increase the U.S. troop presence.

Members of the “Out of Iraq” caucus are organizing into a new group whose mission will be to question the military surge in the country President Obama has deemed critical to the fight against terrorism.

“He will hear from us,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., who was a founding member of the Iraq caucus.

He’s been asked. Do you seriously think he’s not looking for the nearest exit door in Afghanistan?

/but I suppose we’ll have to wait until he’s finished eating his waffle
