Obama war review signals Taliban gains checked and Qaeda weakened
President Obama’s Afghanistan review asserts al Qaeda in Pakistan is at its weakest since 2001 and the Taliban’s power has been halted, while pledging a 2014 endgame with a continued US role. About 100,000 troops remain, with Afghan forces growing to over 300,000 as Taliban guerrillas number 25,000 to 30,000.
