Interesting luncheon at the White House today. A host of Afghan cabinet officials dropped by to brief the Obama administration’s Af-Pak strategy review.

For the Afghans: Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak, Foreign Minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta, Interior Minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar, Ambassador to the U.S. Said Jawad, and U.N. Ambasssador Zahir Tanin. I think intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh might have been there, but I’m not sure.

For the Obama administration: National security adviser Jim Jones; Former CIA official Bruce Reidel, chairman of the strategy review; Special Envoy to Af-Pak Richard Holbrooke and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy, the co-chairs of the review; and representives from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Defense Secretary Bob Gates and Vice President Biden.

What did the Afghans tell the Americans? More on that later.
