Obama’s Afghan Plan Includes Iran, Taliban Talks
------------------------------------------------



On foreign policy, the Washington Post is reporting the incoming Obama
administration is planning what it calls a “more regional strategy” to
the occupation of Afghanistan. The plan leaves open the possibility of
holding talks with Iran and elements of the Taliban. Obama would also
seek to renew what he’s called an aborted effort to capture Osama bin
Laden. Obama has already vowed to increase the US troop deployment
there.
