Obama Adviser Dismisses Reports of Afghanistan Troop Decision
By Julianna Goldman and Viola Gienger
Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- President
Barack Obama’s national
security adviser dismissed reports that the administration has
reached a decision to send thousands of additional troops to
Afghanistan.
Obama hasn’t received final options that he has requested,
neither has he reviewed those alternatives with his national
security team, said National Security Adviser James Jones,
responding to reports by the Associated Press and CBS News. The
AP reported Obama would add “tens of thousands more forces,”
while CBS said he plans to send four combat brigades plus
thousands more support troops.
