Back Channel this week: Keeping a Promise
Barack Obama and John McCain agreed on at least one area in the campaign:
More troops are needed in Afghanistan.
But they left plenty of questions unanswered. How many troops? Would they continue the current strategy or move in a new direction? How would this increase in forces compare with the surge that turned things around in Iraq? Was this talk of troops campaign rhetoric or a real commitment?
Sucks to be Obama or someone who voted for him.
