wrong again dude.
sources?
The US Consitution has nothing to do with a military chain of command or a counter insurgency.
The President does not have any military experience or the Congress. What type of assessment or order would they make with or without a consitution under your silly fantasy?
Dude you have no sources and the only source besides your 'vast military experience' - you throw out the US Consitution in a lame attempt to explain your silly fantasy of how to co*kblock and handcuff the commander in the field thousands of miles away ?
New President same old policy dude- the only thing new is the level of 'epic fail'.
below is an example of a sources.

Morton Kondracke: Obama's Afghanistan policy following Bush's Iraq policy
President Barack Obama is an unremitting critic of President George W. Bush, but in Afghanistan, Obama has begun walking in Bush's shoes.
Strategy in Afghanistan is unraveling
Albert R. Hunt, Bloomberg News
August 10, 2010
Washington — When Gordon Goldstein sees Afghanistan as “déjá vu,” a mission that’s “unraveling,” it isn’t the ramblings of another armchair critic.
Goldstein argues it’s clear the counterinsurgency and population-protection policy, as set out in General Stanley McChrystal’s manifesto last summer, is failing.

Barack Obama and Afghanistan
By MARC HEROLD August 6, 2008
And how will this victory over radical Islam be accomplished? Obama’s recipe for success involves:
Sending 2-3 combat brigades (each of 3-5,000 troops) to Afghanistan;
Pressure NATO allies to follow suit;
More use of drones, aircraft, etc. ;
Training Afghan “security” forces;
Supporting an Afghan judiciary;
Proposing an additional $1 billion in non-military assistance each year with safeguards to see no corruption and resources flowing to areas other than Kabul;
Invest in alternative livelihoods to poppies;
Pressure Pakistan to carry the fight into its tribal areas and reward it for so doing with military and non-military aid;
Should Pakistan fail to act in the tribal areas, the United States under Obama would act unilaterally;
New? Change? President George W. Bush and candidate McCain have long signed on to exactly these policies. Certainly both would also see Afghanistan primarily through the lens of “making America safer.” George Bush Sr. did just that during 1988-1990 when America was presumed safer once the Soviets were out of Afghanistan. Then, he cut and ran.

By AP / ROBERT H. REID Sunday, Aug. 01, 2010
(KABUL, Afghanistan) — The Netherlands became the first NATO country to end its combat mission in Afghanistan, drawing the curtain on a four-year operation that was deeply unpopular at home and even brought down a Dutch government.
