Katty Kay: Trump’s Strategy on Afghanistan Looks More of the Same that Obama Did

‘It’s really hard to see how the strategy has changed’

EXCERPT:

KAY: “That irritating reality of Iraq hangs over his decisions on Afghanistan. I think it was Mattis who said we haven't got a strategy, we have 16 one-year strategies in Afghanistan. The question tonight is going be has this White House come up with anything more than that or is this just more of the same of 'We’ll put in a few more troops to stop the tide of the Taliban incrementally taking over Afghanistan for the moment without any long-term strategy." Unless they come up with something that nobody else has thought of, it’s very hard to see how the strategy has changed. This looks just like more of the same of what the Obama Administration did.”
