Reports and sources are hinting that Obama will concede to demand of Gen. Stanley Mc Chrystal and send nearly 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan and that too with plans of longer stay. White House has denied the reports about any such decision.

With war situation worsening in Afghanistan and number of casualties going higher every passing day and demand of more troops, a new Afghan strategy seems to be definitely on cards. It is expected that Obama will make announcements after returning from his scheduled China tour. According to sources and reports Obama may send 40,000 troops in phases and increase the total force to 100,000 troops which will stay for 4 years till Afghan army and police force are strengthened by Mc. Chrystal.

But the important pressing questions are, will this war ever end? Can troops win a war? When declaring war against terror on foreign soil by Bush is being seen as a flawed decision, why Obama wants to carry the burden of war for longer time and that too during the times of recession? And recent election fall-out in Afghanistan clearly shows that war torn nation needs to uproot and eliminate corruption as a first step towards nation building.
