The New York Times: Reports on the united front of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defence Robert Gates when it comes to Afghanistan, the NYT writes the following, "delivered a one-two punch in favor of a more ambitious approach. " It will be interesting to see how President Obama deals with this split in his Administration, on the one side you have State and Defence who want to increase troops in Afghanistan and then you have VP Biden who is having flashbacks to Vietnam and wants to withdraw troops and hit Al Qaeda bases in Pakistan with drones, even if this could topple the secular government of Pakistan. Every President has a defined moment, this is Obama's, lets see if his judgement is up to par.
