NATO Official: More Afghan Training Needed for War
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said "things are going to have to change" in Afghanistan to retain public support for the stalemated war.
(snip ...)
He also told the Atlantic Council think tank that NATO needs to start letting Afghan military and civilian officials take the lead in securing and building their war-torn nation.
Rasmussen would not say whether he believes the U.S. should send more troops to Afghanistan, as the Obama administration is debating.
He also gently chastised Americans who question allied nations' commitment to Afghanistan.

Gates was also talking about shifting strategies in Afghanistan when he was on the Sunday shows this weekend. It's hard to make out where the news re: Afghanistan is heading. Are we moving towards a surge and shift to Afghan forces, similar to what happened in Iraq last year?
