"I think the situation is getting urgent enough that we have to start doing something now," he told CBS television. "We can't wait for a new administration otherwise it will be a year before new troops arrive."

Are the nominees (presumptive and presumptuous) getting briefings designed to help them from stepping in it too big time so that Obama would be aware of our plans to beef up our forces in Afghanistan?
