Administration readies review of Afghanistan War

The World

A review of the Afghanistan strategy is due to be released sometime in early December, one year after President Obama announced a surge of 30,000 troops. The review will give the nation and the White House an assessment of how the war is going, and indicate if we’re on pace to start pulling troops out of Afghanistan by July 2011, as the President announced back in December 2009.

Here to help us assess what that review could tell us is David Loyn, foreign correspondent for the BBC, and author of the book, In Afghanistan: Two Hundred Years of British, Russian and American Occupation.
