After five intense meetings on his war-fighting strategy in Afghanistan, President Obama is finished gathering data and is now "in the decision-making phase," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told Fox News.
"We have finished at the broad landscape level," Gibbs said. "We are in the decision-making phase now."
Gibbs said exhaustive Situation Room briefings on future U.S. troops levels, training of Afghan Army and Police forces, civilian assistance and the political stability and legitimacy of President Hamid Karzai's government are largely complete.
"The meetings that go now will flow to the decision-making phase," Gibbs said. "All the discussions so far will impact the ultimate decisions."
Gibbs said he had no idea what Obama will decide on future U.S. troop levels, though he repeated his assessment from today's briefing that troop levels will not be cut and the main decision looming is by how much to increase the U.S. combat footprint.
"I don't know how many weeks we are away from a decision," Gibbs said. "I'd say several weeks."
Obama will have at least one more Afghanistan meeting next week. The day has not been set.
Wednesday's meeting, Gibb said, focused intensely on underlying security conditions in Afghanistan and how the U.S. mission going forward would influence the principle goal of securing territory and giving the government the tools necessary to boost internal security, a precursor to any consideration of reducing U.S. forces, which now number about 68,000.
"There were a series of questions on the civilian side, a series of questions on the military side related to training,": Gibbs said, summarizing where Obama was leading the discussion. "There were questions on the political situation and possible increases in civilian resources and ANSF training."

Ping.
Or maybe he’s just “still deciding” on a mate for the family dog.
I could have missed it, but I haven’t seen a formal plan published on any of the online public sources.
He can’t publish his plan. He wants to help islam restore their frigging caliphate.
If we do not stop this, the repercussions of what obama is doing will PROFOUNDLY jeopardize the world as we know it.
I have been looking. It’s not there.
Head’s up.
Got to have stimulus TODY. Got to have tarp TODAY. Got to have health insurance TODY. But he can wait weeks or even months to make a decision on Afghanistan.
I believe you.
Thanks, JJ.
Pinging.
Don't cha' just love the "Change" and "Hope"....
All Americans that love this country and our troops ought to be entering a decision-making phase.
Gibbs makes me want to throw up with his comments!
O’Bammy has to wait till he is Told what to do!!!
Ain’t got his Orders yet...
Obama to mate with family dog?
Isn’t that against the law in all 57 states?
A decision is weeks away.....guess someone in
Washington hasn’t made Obama’s mind up for him YET.
Please tell what the term “Decision Making Stage” means.
Is that the thing you do after the Latin Music Party at the Whitehouse or the date night in Chicago?
This so called President is such a Putz, just like the Idiots who voted for him. God help us.
The decision-making phases should have already been finished and near implimentation if only we had a more competent president/commander-in-chief, say like Bush. Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmm
