Obama Considers New Afghan Option
オバマ大統領アフガン派兵増強？

When President Obama meets with his national security team today to discuss options for Afghanistan in advance of his Asia tour, a new "hybrid" option will be considered along with those that had already been proposed by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. This new hybrid option is "now drawing the most attention at the Pentagon," according to the Wall Street Journal, and would deploy 30,000 to 35,000 new troops, including as many as 10,000 military trainers. Regardless of which option the president chooses, they would all be "phased approaches," meaning that new forces would reach Afghanistan in waves rather than all at once. The New York Times doesn't mention the hybrid plan but does report that Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff all seem to be supporting a proposal to send about 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. Obama, however, reportedly remains unconvinced.
