Obama Calls for "Demonstrable Action" Against Corruption

(Washington) While the Obama administration ponders the idea of sending more troops to Afghanistan, objectives against Al Qaeda have been outlined in a draft document called Evaluating Progress in Afghanistan-Pakistan.

The No 1 objective calls for disrupting ‘terrorist networks in Afghanistan, and especially Pakistan, to degrade any ability they have to plan and launch international terrorist attacks’.

For Pakistan, the document said the Obama administration’s goal was to limit the military’s involvement in the civilian government, to develop Islamabad’s counterinsurgency capabilities and to have the government take ‘demonstrable action’ against corruption. [my bold]

I would suggest that even casual observers of current events might consider it outrageously hypocritical for Obama to demand action against corruption in another country when he has initiated no similar action in the U.S.
