| Obama to Assess Afghan Military Strategy |
| 2010-07-09 |
| [Quqnoos] The US President Barack Obama is planning to review the Afghanistan troop policy to check if it has been effective, reports say "We will have a review at the end of this year to see if the strategy has been efficacious," Obama told to a western news agency. The US President highlighted that a gradual decrease of the US troops from Afghanistan will start by the middle of 2011. "By the middle of next year we should begin the transition but that does not mean our presence will evaporate overnight," he said. The United States led an invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 to overthrow the Taliban's regime and it led to an infamous war that is now in its ninth year. |

| #2 It's been as "efficacious" as General Custer's final command decision. At least Custer preferred onions to arugula (sic?). |
