Gen. Stanley McChrystal,is in charge and made the change in view of the civilian casualties. He’s on the ground, and it’s his plan. The General is a expert on counter insurgency and knows that collateral casualties do not endear the troops to the locals.

Plenty of experts have managed a failure in the past.
