Bloomberg: U.S. Commander in Afghanistan Backs Slowing U.S. Withdrawal
The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said he’s recommending alternatives to President Barack Obama’s timetable for withdrawing the remaining American troops there.
WNU Editor:If the situation and trends were positive .... U.S. Army General John Campbell would be singing a different story. But the fact is the opposite .... the war is escalating and the Afghan army is now under strain. And while I do expect the White House to sign-off on the Generals' request, it will be done during Afghan President Ghani's visit to Washington in March.
