Obama's New Strategy for Afghanistan

by Seth Graham and Ben Tan
The President continues his preparations for his first European trip, including a meeting with NATO's secretary-general.

Meanwhile Mr. Obama is readying a new strategy for Afghanistan.

General John Craddock, the Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, says security results in the country are skewed.

Craddock said gunfire in outdoor markets "counts the same as a suicide bomber killing thirty people [...] so we have to get more refined in that."

This follows thousands of new U-S troops who will soon roll into the region to reverse the Taliban gains.
