White House: No Change to U.S. Afghan Strategy |
2012-03-13 |
[An Nahar] The White House said Monday that U.S. strategy would not change in Afghanistan despite the fallout from a U.S. soldier's shooting rampage which killed 16 civilians in a new jolt to America's war policy. "Our strategic objectives have not changed and they will not change," White House front man Jay Carney said, adding Washington remained committed to disrupting, disarming and defeating al-Qaeda and training Afghans to ensure their own security. President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... is committed to gradually withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan under an agreement with NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... partners which foresees a full drawdown by the end of 2014. "This is a challenging time, no question," Carney said, but added that the administration would continue to work on what it sees as vital U.S. national security interests in Afghanistan. "I don't believe this incident will change the timetable of a strategy that was designed and implemented to allow for the withdrawal of U.S. forces, to allow for the transfer of lead security over to the Afghans," he said. |

#4 I've often wondered if one good way to shut down government would be to require government officials to have a per-use license on Powerpoint slides. At ten cents a slide, the U.S. government would go broke faster than Greece... |

#1 "Washington remained committed to disrupting, disarming and defeating al-Qaeda and training Afghans" -Actually the current catch strategic slogan in the Stan is "Disrupt the Taliban, Train ANA and Transfer to the ANA". Now I see the wording is back to "defeating al Qaeda" within the WH. Does it make a difference -likely not. Its "still exit stage left Snagglepus" |
