Obama pushes for changes in Afghan strategy options

President Barack Obama pushed his Afghan war council for revisions in strategy options presented to him before he will go ahead with a final decision on boosting troop levels in Afghanistan, a senior US official said.

Facing increasing US public skepticism over the eight-year-old war, Obama asked his top advisers to clarify how and when US troops will shift security responsibility to the Afghan government, the administration official said on Wednesday.
