President Trump's national security adviser H.R. McMaster on Saturday defended President Trump's strategy on winning the war in Afghanistan.

The president has not announced a comprehensive strategy on Afghanistan yet, but according to McMaster he has made “a number of decisions" on the military approach there.

McMaster also added that the White House wants to see a "change in behavior" from interested groups in the region, particularly Pakistan. The top aide said that while Pakistan has taken "great losses" fighting the Taliban, they have done so "selectively."

"This is Pakistan in particular that we want to really see a change in– and a reduction of their support– for– these groups," he said. "I mean, this is– of course, you know, a very paradoxical situation, right, where Pakistan is taking great losses."

McMaster also said the president "absolutely" has confidence in the commander in charge of the U.S. war effort against the Taliban and ISIS in Afghanistan.

Before Trump was elected, I formed a detrimental opinion of Mc Masters, as I felt his attitude toward Islam was; don't critisize Islam and show your prejudice and bigotry.
Mc Masters backed that up by silencing people under his command who did just that.

McMaster is another John Brennan, an Islam sympathizer and should not be in the Trump administration. - Tom

Yeah! (sarc)
And look who Reagan, Bush, and Bush put on the courts!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Completely agree, McCain’s endorsement convinced me.

Yes, our good friends the Pakis, with a war college within a stones throw of Osama bin Ladin’s home for years.
Fire his ass.
