White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters today that President Obama is getting closer to a decision on troop levels in Afghanistan.
“We’re getting there,” Gibbs said.
As I laid out earlier, Obama is in the Situation Room this afternoon talking Pakistan, and has another meeting Friday.
Gibbs wouldn’t give a timeline, saying only that Obama has six hours of meetings scheduled over the next few days.
“It’s not just a military question. It has to be looked at and focused on a number of different areas at a number of different levels. And that’s what the president’s intent on doing,” Gibbs said. “We’re still in the process of — of working through this. I don’t — if the president’s come to a decision, he hasn’t told me.”
