How does Obama's statement differ from what the Bush administration was doing? Is he suggesting the U.S. hasn't been trying to avoid civilian casualties? Are we going to pursue a more timid approach to fighting the Taliban? The Taliban are preparing a new offensive. A kinder and gentler approach will not work.

He added that the leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan had renewed their commitment in a three-way summit here to fight extremism threatening all three nations.
