Obama Forging His Own Afghanistan Policy


After meeting with his national security team today, President Obama has decided not to accept any of the four options his own policy presented to him and instead create on sending troops to Afghanistan. This policy could alter the current plan on how many more troops we send to Afghanistan as well as the timeline for when U.S. troops will give the Afghan government control. The specifics of Obama's strategy are not yet known, but he plans to announce them after he returns from a visit to Asia on Nov. 19.

Only time will tell whether he made the right decision.
