President Barack Obama and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will meet Tuesday at the White House to discuss the situation in Afghanistan, the president's spokesman said Friday.

President Barack Obama's July 2011 date to start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan has given a morale boost to Taliban insurgents, who believe they can wait out NATO forces, the top U.S. Marine said on Tuesday.

President Barack Obama is an unremitting critic of George W. Bush, but in Afghanistan he's walking in Bush's shoes. How ironic. But also, how encouraging.

President Barack Obama will stress U.S. resolve in Afghanistan and what needs to be done there when he meets today with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, as both leaders face growing domestic skepticism about the war.

He may have been hailed for his decisiveness, but Barack Obama sacked the wrong man and has yet to sort out his Afghanistan policy, writes Toby Harnden in Washington
