the expected McChrystal troop request

English Social Sciences Media / Multimedia
Mr. Biden quickly became the most outspoken critic of the expected McChrystal troop request, arguing that Pakistan was the bigger priority, since that is where Al Qaeda is mainly based. “He was the bull in the china shop,” said one admiring administration official.

El señor Biden se convirtió rápidamente en el crítico más abierto de la esperada solicitud de tropas del General McChrystal, argumentado que Pakistán era la prioridad más importante, ya que es donde Al Qaeda tiene sus bases, principalmente. "Fue el toro en la tienda de porcelana", dijo un funcionario, admirador de la administración.
