Poll question: How long until the Pentagon asks the President for more soldiers in Afpak?

I'd say by the end of 2010, the military will ask the President for another two divisions.

1. It pretty much already happened:

3. That's no more than an extra logistical brigade

But the Gates/Clinton testimony gives them an opening to provide another division or more.

2. His West Point speech pretty much confirms that, like Clinton, he can be 'rolled' as they say.

Or used to say, i.e., he's basically a doormat, so they will get more soldiers when they want them - they need merely ask.
