White House refutes lawmaker’s Afghan war comments
WASHINGTON — White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says House Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s claims that the administration is endangering U.S. troops by not deciding quickly on a new Afghan strategy was a “bunch of game playing.”
Gibbs says President Barack Obama is moving deliberately on recommendations from commanding Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal because the American people, their soldiers and families deserve an assessment that goes beyond “game playing.”
Obama, top military officials, diplomats and members of the Cabinet meet Wednesday afternoon to continue studying the McChrystal report.
