30,000 new American troops in Afghanistan’s first two to three weeks, senior U.S. officials said Wednesday that in coming to clear the 18 months to bring home troops may begin planning.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday announced a significant increase in U.S. forces in the fight against the Taliban, the U.S. military presence, a collection of nearly 100,000 officials hope that Afghanistan is safe and to allow U.S. troops began in the summer of 2011 do.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Senate Armed Service who said Obama was the testimony of senior officials before the new U.S. Army with an end point after rapid accumulation will be mailed within 2-3 weeks.

Gates said Afghan security responsibility themselves to the target shift was starting, as soon as possible. Since the summer of 2011 in the transfer of security responsibility to the Afghans – and is important in my opinion, you can achieve “said.

But in a sign that American commanders have kept their options open, Gates said they reviewed the progress in December 2010 and their fate will not leave Afghanistan if the security situation was unsustainable.

He said, “Not only we will take all these people and walk in the pool” said.

Senate Committee, the top Republican John McCain, have expressed doubts about the withdrawal plan – echoing fears that Taliban militants to allow an increase of U.S. troops could wait for later to prove himself.

Republican rival McCain, Obama said the 2008 presidential election defeat in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda safe havens for the safe elimination of the commendable objective, but the date of the U.S. “one arbitrary” was a return is dangerous.

“Both our friends and to return at a date sends wrong message to our enemies,” he said.

U.S. Army General David Petraeus, the use of a uniform growth and pull back from the brink of credit to Iraq counterinsurgency strategy, said 18-month withdrawal timetable on MSNBC was realistic but ambitious Afghanistan.

, Petraeus, who commands U.S. forces now “it is very difficult. He does this is nothing easy about it. This is Afghanistan.’s Not easy to difficult and hard about all the time and that is open their eyes” said the entire region.

Obama’s War

Obama’s speech, eight-year-old Afghan war was appointed architect of a new phase, adding $ 30 billion in costs next year was a record federal deficit of the country, struggling with high unemployment and on economic rescue plan.

Obama’s concern about fellow Democrats, many have expressed growing conflict is costly, while Republicans complained that the military relations date of retirement.

Democrats argue, the risk for an anti-establishment mood holder comes before the midterm elections next year’s Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, Republicans see a piece may take.

Obama is for himself reelection in 2012.

Gates and other senior officials, the inquiry under Republican suggested that 18-month withdrawal timetable if the circumstances on the ground indicate that the battle is won can be changed.

“I think we’ve closed yourself out”, State Secretary, Hillary Clinton told the commission that the U.S. proved that he did not intend to capture in Afghanistan indefinitely wanted.

He said, “We are not interested in running their country, their nation-building., We force them to place and time to strengthen its defense is trying to” said.

Clinton said U.S. President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan’s promises to fight corruption and support the move to moderate elements in the Taliban who renounce violence must press on.

Karzai’s office plans on hold

Karzai’s office saying that a change in strategy for Afghanistan, welcomed Obama issued a statement, although one comment from Karzai himself did not expect extraordinary.

U.S. and NATO top commander said that General Stanley McChrystal, who said he needed 40,000 troops to win the war, Obama was the forces of “the beginning of conflict” rise in the end I promise.

But the statement issued by the Taliban in an e-mail said, growth will only increase our determination. He said, “the enemy is not going to benefit by this strategy” said.

Germany, France and others said to wait and see.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, speaking in Brussels, said the Afghan regions and 15 districts from 10 to expect job security take next year was unrealistic, but the infection can only conditions are met.

“We believe we are doing until Afghan security forces can take responsibility for not leaving that in fact, that specific district or province,” said.

Taliban in Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, said Mullen, 11 is now effective, but that U.S. troops would have to increase the upper hand.

Marked a major change in strategy, McChrystal said the military’s “vast majority” Afghan units, a counter-insurgency strategy as mentors in collaboration with one entirely new lineup from that in the past as possible because the Army and Afghan police were also small.

President Barack Obama said Monday that Al Qaeda remains the biggest threat to U.S. security is as concerned with pressure on its allies Pakistan and Afghanistan strategy in cooperation with Washington stepped.

In a sign of the pressure of work, after Afghanistan said it was a new unit to tackle corruption on a large scale corruption of public support in the fight against the Taliban emerging considered necessary counter was set up right.

The Afghanistan war strategy cuts “” has faced criticism at home for, and has increased political pressure reached a decision soon.

Dissatisfaction

Obama faced his advisers in Afghanistan strategy dissent.

General Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, more than 40,000 troops requested for the war and the failure of that mission is at risk without them.

Last week, we learned that a note of serious concern Eikenberry President Karzai government has improved its performance, unless expressed on sending more troops.

Recently, criticism of delays in decision-making process has increased.

“Clearly, the duration of this process of deliberation and a flood of leaks that have left Kabul and Washington that the action does not exist for the entire course,” David Broder, Washington Post columnist, wrote in a major.

“Given that reality, instant decision – or it is not right,” Broder said, is needed.

Washington: “safe haven”, that “Al Qaeda in Pakistan is very serious as has been found” Hillary Clinton says U.S. Secretary of State stating that the terrorist group committed to the Pakistani Taliban is a threat to Pakistan’s state.

The U.S. was in Afghanistan “because we believe that we or a safe haven for terrorists is not allowed to return to a test platform,” the German newspaper Der Spiegel in Berlin could, according to a copy released Tuesday by the State Department.

“We believe that Al Qaeda and other extremists are part of a group of terror, Al Qaeda with one motivation, a financier, coaches, equipped, director of what is happening to a large amount remains.

As if he still feared that the Pakistani intelligence services are unreliable asked, said: “No.. Not at the highest level” However, “I made a real effort by senior management to ensure to see that some of Any help or connivance of the leadership of al Qaeda by giving no bottom lines. ”

Clinton said in an interview to Charlie Rose show that Pakistan was now “showing” that the Taliban is the enemy to India as much as his long opposition.

“Well, that certainly is performing.’re Very strong reaction, first in Swat, now in South Waziristan, shows commitment to take on the Pakistani Taliban.

“I both civilian and military leaders of the intelligence in our dialogue with leaders, it seems, there is an awareness that a Taliban fighter is not a direct attack on the Pakistani government’s right” he said.
