Division in America over Afghanistan deepens

The USA military is reportedly "frustrated" with the White House over war strategy in Afghanistan. The Times describes it as "an open rift". The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has also reported that the Pentagon "is rebuffing congressional calls for the top US commander (Gen. Stanley McChrystal ) in Afghanistan to personally make the case for the war". Earlier, State Secretary Hillary Clinton reportedly defended President Obama and ticked off the military in an interview with PBS television.
