In this article, the NYT highlights Karl Eikenberry, who is Obama's ambassador to Afghanistan..
Apparently, Eikenberry has sent Obama two private cables to Obama urging him to be patient and exercise restraint with increasing anymore troops into Afghanistan though Gen. Stanley McChrystal had asked the President to increase the troop numbers to 40, 000..
Overall, I think Eikenberry's decision is a smart one and that you cannot make a country truly independent and non-threatening until make its own choices. I think Eikenberry's decision will not make the President of Afghanistan feel like his toes are being stepped on.. What do you think?
