  • President's Afghan drawdown plan called risky, 'unrealistic'

    (CNN) -- President Obama's timetable for winding down the war in Afghanistan may be too short for the United States to achieve its war aims but too long to hold American public support, observers said Tuesday.
    Obama announced the deployment of another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan in a Tuesday night speech at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, senior administration officials said. The announcement is coupled with a plan to begin withdrawing the American contingent in July 2011, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
