The Washington Post is reporting the size of the Obama administration’s troop increase in Afghanistan is greater than previously disclosed. The White House is sending an additional 13,000 troops on top of the 21,000 announced earlier this year. Most of the troops are said to play a support role, with positions including engineers, medical personnel, intelligence experts and military police. The buildup has left the US with more troops in Iraq and Afghanistan than during the height of the Bush administration’s troop surge in Iraq.
