Obama said he wanted to address the war in Afghanistan (with a view to getting out). Something which may be worrying Obama is that a recent poll shows that 66% of the UK population want British troops out of Afghanistan. They see too few results for too many troops killed.

I guess they would like to see the Afghans taking more of the responsibility (although this may be wishful thinking at present).
