US to finalise new Afghanistan strategy
Updated
Within days, U-S President Barack Obama is expected to finalise details of a new strategy in Afghanistan, where the war has been going particularly badly.
As well as more troops -- a so-called surge -- it's expected to shift focus towards counter-insurgency and security for the population, in what many hope will be a more coherent and better-resourced approach.
Presenter: Linda Mottram
Speakers: Stephen Smith, Australian Foreign Minister. Joel Fitzgibbon, Australian Defence Minister. Jim Molan, Major General (rtd). Dr Benjamin MacQueen, Melbourne University, Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies
