CORRECTED COPY: U.S. TEAM CONSULTS WITH ISAF PARTNERS ON AFGHANISTAN

2009 November 10, 16:37 (Tuesday)

  1. (S/REL ISAF) This cable is a corrected copy including

additional comments by the Deputy Assistant to the President

and the Vice President's National Security Advisor, Tony

Blinken.

 

  1. (S/REL ISAF) SUMMARY: On November 5, a senior level USG

interagency team consulted with NATO Allies and non-NATO ISAF

troop contributing countries on the way ahead in Afghanistan,

including how to respond to GEN McChrystal's assessment and

resource request. The U.S. team stressed that the President

remained committed to the international effort in

Afghanistan, informing ISAF members that all options being

considered by the President include an increase in our

military and civilian investment. They said that it was the

size and nature of the increase that was still under

discussion, adding that an announcement of a decision would

be made after President Obama's upcoming trip to Asia.

Several key themes emerged from the discussion with Allies

and non-NATO ISAF troop contributors, including:

 

– there was general support for GEN McChrystal's assessment

and its call for a population-centric counter-insurgency

approach;

 

– no Allies or partners, with the possible exception of the

Dutch, were considering doing less and a number were

considering how they might do more;

 

– while ISAF members generally agreed on the need to grow

the Afghan National Security Forces, they shared U.S.

questions about how large it should grow, whether it would be

sustainable, and who would pay for it;

 

– on civilian coordination, Allies and partners recognized

the need for improved civilian coordination and stressed the

importance of maintaining and strengthening the UN's role; and

 

– ISAF members wanted a better sense of international

expectations of Afghan President Karzai in his second term.

 

NATO Secretary General Rasmussen concluded the meeting by

strongly arguing that, if the U.S. intended to step forward

with additional contributions to the ISAF mission, other

Allies and partners also needed to increase their

contributions, ideally in the same time-frame as Washington.

END SUMMARY

OODA loop, after his experiences dogfighting in the Korean War.

Since then, it has become one of the most popular decision-making

frameworks in the world, both in professional Western militaries and

beyond.
