French FM Questions Obama’s Plans to Escalate War in Afghanistan
----------------------------------------------------------------



French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner says he has doubts about US
President-elect Barack Obama’s plans to escalate the war in Afghanistan.
Kouchner says plans to increase troop numbers would only work “in
precise areas with a precise task.” He says military power alone won’t
stabilize the situation in Afghanistan.
