Deliberations over what to do in Afghanistan are taking place behind closed doors, but the divisions among some of President Obama’s trusted advisers are starting to emerge.
President Obama says the question of resources will come after his team nails down the best Afghan strategy.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has made no secret about his belief that the U.S. needs to send more troops now — or it will risk failure, making an unusual appearance last week in front of a global strategic think tank to present his case.
“We need to reverse the current trends, and time does matter. Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely,” McChrystal said last week in a speech in London, England.
