U.S. Strategy for Pakistan and Afghanistan

Speakers: James Dobbins, Robert Grenier and Daniel Markey

The CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force on U.S. Strategy for Pakistan and Afghanistan assesses U.S. objectives, strategy, and policy options in the region. It finds that while the challenges are severe, the stakes for the United States are very high. The Task Force supports a long-term partnership with Pakistan, but underscores that it can be sustained only if Pakistan takes action against all terrorist organizations based on its soil. The Task Force offers a qualified endorsement of President Obama's approach to Afghanistan, but says that if the December 2010 review concludes that the present strategy is not working, a shift to a more limited mission would be warranted. The Task Force also emphasizes the need for a new approach to Afghan political reform, reconciliation, and regional diplomacy.
