  • The president appears committed to adding at least 10,000 to 15,000 troops to Afghanistan in an effort to bolster the training of Afghan Army and police officers in the country. Current plans call for the U.S. to double the size of the Army and police to about 400,000 in the hope that they can take over security responsibilities from the U.S.
  • In contrast to Iraq, where there was significant dissension on whether or not to deploy an additional 30,000 troops in 2007, the top brass have been mostly united in the support of McChrystal's call for more troops in Afghanistan.
