U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered 30,000 more American troops to Afghanistan to defeat Taliban and al-Qaida extremists and restore stability to the war-torn country.
In an address outlining his new war strategy 1 December, President Obama said while Afghanistan is not lost, it has been moving backwards for several years. He warned that the U.S. and the common security of the world was at stake.
Mr. Obama told cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York that additional forces will help accelerate the transfer of responsibility to Afghan forces and allow U.S. troops to begin leaving the country by July 2011.
