The Details In Afghanistan

If you want to know not only how many troops President Obama's sending to Afghanistan, but where he's sending them, where NATO troops will be, and what he hopes to accomplish there, read this piece by The Washington Independent's Spencer Ackerman. I won't excerpt it because you really should read it in its entirety. But I will say that much with federal policy, what lawmakers, Cabinet Secretaries, and even Presidents announce generally doesn't explain actually how things will happen. Spencer's piece does.
