Report: US Won’t Change Afghan War Policy

HeadlineSep 20, 2010

Amidst the ongoing violence in Afghanistan, the Washington Post is reporting the Obama administration has concluded its Afghan war policy is sound and will continue unchanged. The decision was reached ahead of a December review that had been billed as a pivotal moment in the Afghan war. But an unnamed senior administration official said that after internal deliberation, the consensus in the White House is that “The fundamentals are in the place where they should be.” The official added that any changes will be akin to “moving the rabbit ears around a little bit to get better reception. I don’t think we’ll be changing the channel come December.”
