...USN.load( "Loomia'); This time, it was Karl Eikenberry, current U S ambassador to Afghanistan and, equally important in the context of his remarks, commander of NATO troops there from 2005 to 2007. Eikenberry strongly warned against appearing to lend credibility to the Hamid Karzai-led government, widely regarded as corrupt throughout much of the country. Critics argue that U S aid is doing little more than lining the pockets of money-hungry bureaucrats in Kabul, and until the Karzai government begins reining its officials in, they say, the United States should be wary of contributing more resourcesincluding troops. This was also the thrust of Eikenberry's argument, and there was some chatter about whether the Obama administration itself had leaked the ambassador's assessment, as the White House for its part echoed these concerns. "The president believes that we need to make clear to the Afghan government that our commitment is not open-ended," a White House spokesman said. "After years of substantial investments by the American people, governance in Afghanistan must improve in a reasonable period of time." In other words, they want to see progress."

Obama Weighs Troop Increase in Afghanistan [US News - 1 hour ago]

...He said, that alleged shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim, was becoming increasingly radicalized and dangerous. USN.load( "Loomia'); Across town that afternoon, the Pentagon, in what many saw as a textbook move of political preemption, announced that it would be launching its own investigation into the rampage that killed 13 people. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the four to six month long inquiry would delve into "whether the Army programs, policies, and procedures reasonably would have prevented the shooting." Gates also cautioned against "pointing fingers" at "certain categories of people." On the eve of Veterans Day, President Obama had traveled to Fort Hood in Texas to deliver a eulogy after a gunman's rampage on November 5 killed 13 people there. When the indictment came down against Hasan for 13 counts of premeditated murder earlier this month, the blame game already was well underway on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers demanded to know how a number of warning signs went unshared among government agencies even in the wake of 9/11-inspired legislation that was supposed to remedy such problems."
