US and other powers struggled to persuade Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai to accept a deal to resolve the dispute over the country's tainted presidential election and avert a political crisis that could spark civil unrest and jeopardize the fight against the Taliban-led insurgency. Officials led by Vice President Joseph Biden favor shifting the focus to decapitating al-Qaida in neighboring Pakistan, but some top U.S. military commanders reportedly are seeking up to 80,000 additional U.S. troops to help stabilize Afghanistan and double the size of the Afghan National Army. The war in Afghanistan entered its ninth year this month, with U.S. commanders acknowledging that the 100,000-strong U.S.-led international contingent and Afghan security forces are at risk of losing. A recent U.S. intelligence assessment estimated there are at least 25,000 full-time Islamist guerrillas in Afghanistan, 20 percent more than a year ago. A stable Kabul government is crucial to President Obama's efforts to reformulate his Afghan war strategy. seattletimes.nwsource.com
