REPORTS THAT OBAMA DELAYS AFGHANISTAN SURGE

Good news as to Obama's decision to postpone a surge of 30,000 additional U.S. troops into Afghanistan. ThinkProgress.com reports on an ABC story saying that Obama is delaying any surge until he can figure out what the endgame is and what is U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.

Juan Cole in his Informed Comment writes:

"While the attention of the US public and the news media here has been consumed (understandably enough) by the congressional debate over the economic stimulus plan, America's war in Afghanistan has nearly collapsed because of logistical problems."
