Obama’s Strict 19 month timetable sets us up for defeat
President Barack Obama’s top deputies on Wednesday defended his plan for a rapid ramp-up in Afghanistan,but some U.S. senators questioned a proposal to set an 18-month timeline for starting to bring troops home.
Obama on Tuesday announced he was sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to fight the Taliban,boosting overall U.S. troop presence to almost 100,000 in a "surge"that officials hope will secure Afghanistan and allow U.S. soldiers to start pulling out by the summer of 2011.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates,leading off testimony by key officials at the Senate Armed Services committee,said the first of the new U.S. troops could hit the ground in Afghanistan in 2-3 weeks,the initial wave of a quick buildup with a definite end-point.
"Beginning to transfer security responsibility to the Afghans in summer 2011 is critical –and,in my view achievable,"he said.
