President Obama has given go-ahead to implement Afghanistan strategy

By GottaLaff

From the Dep't. of Done Deals-- President Obama has already given the okay to go forward with his new Afghanistan plans:

President Barack Obama has already ordered his military commanders to implement his Afghanistan strategy, which will be unveiled to the nation in a primetime address from West Point on Tuesday.

Obama is expected to order another 34,000 troops to Afghanistan during the address from the United States Military Academy, though a White House spokesman refused to confirm that figure Monday morning.

He's meeting with Congress members today and tomorrow, as well as briefing world leaders.

After issuing his orders in the Oval Office, Obama held a secure video conference with U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan Gen. Stanley McChrystal and the U.S. ambassador to the country, Karl Eikenberry, from the White House situation room, Gibbs said.

He'll be giving a primetime address from West Point on Tuesday.

As Robert Gibbs just said at the briefing, "This is not an open-ended commitment."
