President Obama discussed further plans for Afghanistan with his war council on Wednesday afternoon. He has asked for revisions to options he previously received for sending more troops. The President made it clear to the council that the commitment to Afghanistan is not open-ended. "The President believes that we need to make clear to the Afghan government that our commitment is not open-ended. After years of substantial investmens by the American people, governance in Afghanistan must improve in a reasonable period of time to ensure a successful transition to our Afghan partner" CNN official was told. The reason that the President is pushing for revisions in proposed plns for troop increaes is because he wants to clarity how ans when United States troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government.
