President Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team.

Fox News' Mike Emanuel reports the President raised questions Wednesday at his 8th national security team meeting on Afghanistan and Pakistan, that could alter the dynamic of how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the duration would be for their presence in the war zone.

The key sticking points - timelines and mounting questions about the credibility of the Afghan government.

Administration officials said Wednesday President Obama wants to make it clear that the U.S. commitment in Afghanistan is not open-ended, and Mr Obama is pushing his national security team for revisions to clarify how and when US troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government.
