President Barack Obama will "not cut-off" U.S. troops in Afghanistan

According to BBC news, U.S. President Barack ObamaBarack Obama said his review of Afghan strategy will not look at pulling out or cutting troop level.

As both Democrat and Republican parties where invited in the White House to talk over the said "cutting-off or pulling out" U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Obama told key members of Congress that he sense the urgency and will come up with a decision but said it will not please everybody.

Deliberations are on-going. Some Democrats are concern by the prospect of deploying more troops in Afghanistan while other Republicans wants to add more troops. It's clear that even both party members are debating over the issue. By this, the president needs to assess the said debate, in turn Obama said whatever his decision is, it will be "rigorous and deliberate" and promise to continue working with the Congress in the best interest of the United States and international security.

Despite the speculation, according to a reliable source in the White House who witness the meeting said the president will not withdraw the troops nor add troops or opt for a strategy of merely targeting al-Qaeda leaders.

The debate arose because a top commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McCrystal requested for more troops to President Obama.

Former Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCainJohn McCain urged Mr. Obama to take heed of the advice given by the generals on the ground.
