After weeks of deliberation, President Barack Obama revealed his war strategy for Afghanistan last night while speaking at the famed West Point Military Academy.
“As commander in chief, I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. . . After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home. These are the resources that we need to seize the initiative, while building the Afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of Afghanistan.”
The additional soldiers will bring U.S. troop levels to nearly 100,000 in Afghanistan with a price tag of over $30 billion a year.
TELL US: How do you feel about President Obama’s new Afghanistan strategy?
