The debate over US strategy continues in the White House: http://www.frontlineonnet.com/stories/20091204262404700.htm.
Today, it has become clear that the “Gates Option,” sending three additional US brigades (instead of four, the McChrystal Option) is in the lead at the White House.

The babel of voices continues…keep tuned.
