How Obama's Afghan War Plan Is Falling Apart

Obama's war plan falling apart. With little military progress to show for his Afghan surge, U.S. President Barack Obama is quickly losing allies at home and abroad, writes the New York Times' David Sanger. Britain, Canada and the Netherlands have all set firm deadlines for withdrawal. Calls for an American withdrawal timetable from Congressional Democrats, and some Republicans, are rising. -- But what may be most damaging, Sanger says, is that even members of the foreign policy establishment, who were among the Afghan war's most ardent supporters, are also beginning to conclude the rising cost of Obama's surge is not worth it.
