Straight Talk: U.S. Army Brigadier General Ben Hodges
clipped from liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com
He’s the man who has to get the job done on the southern Afghanistan battlefront, described by top U.S. commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the main effort.
He did admit the task at hand is “…hard, no doubt about it,” but still, he was confident, even more forward-leaning than his bosses President Obama and McChrystal.
“I think you give the Taliban too much credit,” he told me.
“If we see somebody digging in an IED at the roadside he deserves to die,” Hodges told me, “and we’re going to kill him.”

Obama and his team discussed how long it would take to implement the options he's been presented, a senior administration official said, adding that the president believes that the U.S. needs to make clear to the Afghan government that its commitment is not open-ended.
Obama, who has spent more than two months mulling Gen. Stanley McChrystal's request for more troops, is not expected to announce his decision until after he returns Nov. 20 from a trip to Asia.
