The US Ambassador in Kabul has written to the White House against sending more troops to Afghanistan. According to US media reports, in a leaked message, Karl Eikenberry said President Karzai's government should first prove it would tackle corruption. Expressing his concern about the corruption in Afghanistan, he said it would not be a good idea to send more soldiers. The message arrived amid intense debate over strategy, with President Barack Obama yet to make a decision on the issue. Yesterday, President Obama held meeting with his national security team to discuss the question of whether to send tens of thousands more troops to confront the Taliban.
