Report: US Won’t Change Afghan War Policy
-----------------------------------------



Amidst the ongoing violence in Afghanistan, the Washington Post is
reporting the Obama administration has concluded its Afghan war policy
is sound and will continue unchanged. The decision was reached ahead of
a December review that had been billed as a pivotal moment in the Afghan
war. But an unnamed senior administration official said that after
internal deliberation, the consensus in the White House is that "The
fundamentals are in the place where they should be." The official added
that any changes will be akin to "moving the rabbit ears around a little
bit to get better reception. I don’t think we’ll be changing the channel
come December."
