Afghanistan

pacquiao -- Last night, President Obama laid out his plan to defend our national interest by refocusing our efforts on three clear goals: defeating al Qaeda, stabilizing Pakistan, and breaking the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan. To achieve these goals, the President has authorized the rapid deployment of 30,000 more troops in Afghanistan, with a firm commitment to begin bringing our troops home in 2011. It's a clean break from the failed Afghanistan policy of the Bush administration, and a new, focused strategy that can succeed. Please take a moment to watch the President's address to the nation and read more about his plan. Our new strategy ends the era of blank checks for Afghanistan's leaders, facilitates a responsible transition to Afghan security forces, and begins bringing our troops home in 2011. Please take a moment to listen to President Obama outline his plan -- and pass this along to anyone you know who wants to learn more: http://my.democrats.org/AfghanistanAddress Thank you, Vice President Joe Biden
