Basically McChrystal said he needed 40,000 more troops.
The administration responded by launching a review of the entire Afghanistan strategy.
At the end of the review the administration embraced most - but not all - of McChrystal's strategy and sent roughly 30,000 more troops to the region.

miraja2's suggestion to pull all the troops out and leave Afghanistan was ignored completely.
