After three chemotherapy treatments, her cancer went into remission, but she suffered multiple side effects, including heart and hip complications, that may dog her for years to come. After state...

...Obama ordered. The Administration wasn't ready to do that, at least not yet. And so, the fourth policy review was ordered up - this one conducted by Bruce Riedel, a scholar at the Brookings Institution. The Riedel review won't be done until the end of March, but it has already achieved some clarity about U.S. goals and priorities: "Afghanistan pales in comparison to the problems in Pakistan," said an official familiar with Riedel's thinking.
