Obama lays out counter-terrorism plan

WASHINGTON -- The United States needs to add at least 7,000 troops in Afghanistan, make aid to Pakistan conditional on its progress evicting terrorists, and double spending on foreign aid to $50 billion, Barack Obama said in a major speech this morning laying out his plan for fighting terrorism.

The thrust of Obama's 35-minute speech was that America is more at risk today than it was before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 -- that the "misguided" war in Iraq has made the world more dangerous and diverted attention from tracking down Osama bin Laden and his followers.

"Because of a war in Iraq that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, we are now less safe than we were before 9/11," Obama said to a roomful of journalists and scholars at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won."
