Security Analysis on the International, Regional and Domestic Fronts

摘要

Several reports that have appeared in the international media suggest that Mr. Barack Obama, who entered the White House with the pledge to bring about a change, has fallen victim to the jaundiced world-view of the neo-cons, who reigned supreme during Bush era.rnA classified Pentagon report urges President Obama to shift US military strategy in Afghanistan by de-emphasizing democracy-building and concentrating more on strikes against Taliban and Al-Qaeda sanctuaries inside Pakistan. This is despite the fact that in a report to the Congress, the Pentagon admitted that violence across Afghanistan was on the rise as there was dramatic increase in insurgent attacks in the spring and summer of 2008.
