In Tuesday's New York Times on page A6, the debate continues over the Obama adminstration's strategy review of the war in Afghanistan. What made the article particularly reader-friendly to me was the compare/contrast blurbs of different politicians and officials, ranging through President Obama to Stanley A. McChrystal. In the article, Obama continues to flip-flop, Vice-President Biden supports a counter-terrorism strategy that would maintain troop levels in Afghanistan, Clinton is wary and both Gates and McChrystal support an influx of troops. Should we commit to more troops in Afghanistan or draw back? There has been no deadline set for a new strategy, but there are 5 scheduled meetings over the next two weeks for Obama and top officials to discuss Afghanistan and Pakistan. I wonder how ROTC students or instructors feel about this?
