Obama Establishes Afghanistan-Pakistan Policy Task Force

[bigtree]

President Obama has created an inter-agency task force to review U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan and tasked it to report back to him by the NATO summit in April, a senior aide told reporters today.

Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer and Brookings fellow, will co-chair the review along with Richard Holbrooke and Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michele Flournoy, according to press secretary Robert Gibbs.

Riedel, who will be on leave from Brookings for 60 days to work at the White House, will report to National Security Adviser Jim Jones, Gibbs said.
