Our View: Without clear objectives, Afghan effort could fail
When a nation is involved in something as important as a war, it is more than worthwhile for its leaders to step back from day-to-day concerns and evaluate strategy.<br /><br /> That is exactly what President Obama and his top advisers did last Thursday, in their "Afghanistan-Pakistan Annual Review."<br /><br /> Details of the conference, attended by the president, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other aides and advisers, are secret.

Route 1 is a storied highway, extending from the Canadian border in Maine to Florida's southern tip. But as of last week, it's no longer complete.<br/><br/> The 87-year-old Memorial Bridge, which carried Route 1 traffic over the Piscataqua River between Kittery and Portsmouth, N.H., is now a pedestrian-and-bicycle-only span due to severe deterioration.<br/><br/> That's inconvenient for drivers, who now have to either detour to the high-level Interstate 95 bridge or use another street-level span.
