Reuters news agency that on that analysis, the United States may be completed before the year 2017 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

After months of deliberation, the U.S. president Barack Obama’s Afghanistan policy was pending. Obama may be deployed to Afghanistan for at least 30000 U.S. soldiers. The new strategy also focuses on accelerating the training of Afghan security forces in order to facilitate withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Gibbs said White House spokesman, said Obama is likely to announce a detailed timetable for withdrawal. Gibbs said: “We have spent nine years in Afghanistan, we will not continue to stay there in 2089. Our time will be limited, which for the access to the American public’s understanding is very important.”

Gibbs said Obama would also stress the controversial war in Afghanistan suffering from the high cost, to explain why the Americans sent troops went to Afghanistan and why the United States to put pressure on Afghan President Hamid Karzai, asking them to punish the corrupt. He said: “The Americans want to know why we go to Afghanistan, and they want to know where our interests.”

The White House believes that the cost of more troops to Afghanistan and costs are too great. Every time a soldier deployed in Afghanistan, the U.S. government will require more than a year to pay one million U.S. dollars. Now the U.S. deficit has reached 1.4 trillion. For Obama, the more troops to Afghanistan would be a political risk-taking behavior. In addition, Obama’s Democratic Party is also facing mid-term elections in November 2010 challenge, the Republicans are taking advantage of soaring U.S. deficits and high unemployment on the offensive.

Gibbs said that the U.S. finance the war in Afghanistan has already bear the burden alone, military spending in Afghanistan in June as high as 6.7 billion U.S. dollars, the cost of this war is too expensive.
