Obama: US will stay on offense in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he will make sure the United States stays "on the offensive" in the war in Afghanistan.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, the president did not divulge details of his administration's review of how to proceed in Afghanistan. The details of that review are expected to be announced shortly.

But Obama says the U.S. cannot allow "vicious killers" to have their way and establish a safe haven in Afghanistan. He said the U.S. will do what's required.

The president also says he anticipates a more focused, disciplined and coordinated effort with other coalition forces in Afghanistan.

Obama says he understands how much the sacrifice of troops weighs on the public in the U.S. and in other nations.
