    More troops, help farmers with lessening the poppy growth so they have income, and deal with Pakistan. In a cohearent way so they know we are behind them, and yet maintain a partnership with India. We are part of a coalition that is undermanned. We are not looking to become a force of 150,000 as we are in Iraq. I am paraphrasing here...but that is basically what he is saying. So how is he avoiding an answer.?? I thought he gave a very well thought out, very detailed answer. Much more than I have ever heard from McCain. The so called, expert on foreign policy. In fact in this and in the CNN with Wolf Blitzer interview with him and with McCain the differences with both are so striking. Obama's answers are so thought provoking, so intelligent, while McCain's are nothing but attacks against Obama, and he rarely gives an answer to the question.
