WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama called his war council together Monday as he moves toward a decision on whether to add more U.S. forces in Afghanistan. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he’s not aware of any more such strategy sessions being scheduled, the latest signal that Obama is closing in on a revamped war strategy after several weeks of review. Gibbs said the soonest Obama would announce a decision would be next week.
