Think Progress » Progressive Bloggers Launch ‘Get Afghanistan Right’ Campaign Opposing Troop Escalation: "President-elect Obama campaigned on a plan to deploy up to 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. But the ‘incoming administration does not anticipate that the Iraq-like ’surge’ of forces will significantly change the direction’ of the conflict. Instead, it hopes that the troops will ‘buy enough time for the new administration to reappraise the entire Afghanistan war effort and develop a comprehensive new strategy,’ the Washington Post reports today."
