Gibbs: Obama has not yet read Afghan assessment
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House spokesman says President Barack Obama has not yet seen a new assessment of the Afghan war.

Robert Gibbs said Monday that the report is making it's way "up the chain of command." Gen. Stanley McChrystal's report was delivered to NATO allies and the Pentagon earlier Monday.
Gibbs said the president had asked for the assessment of the 8-year-old war, realizing that the effort had been "under-resourced" for "the better part of a decade." Gibbs said that McChrystal's report was separate from any possible request for more troops that could come later.
