TOPSHOTS-AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
US soldiers from the 1st Platoon, Charlie Battery of the 1st Battalion, 321st Airborne Field Artillery Regiment cover their ears as they fire a 155 mm howitzer towards suspected enemy positions in the Pich Valley, Konar Province on September 29, 2009. US President Barack Obama gathered an array of high-powered advisors to begin a sweeping Afghan strategy review that will culminate in a fateful decision on whether to escalate the war. Obama has called his most formidable military, political and national security aides to the secure Situation Room of the White House, to brainstorm the way forward as he mulls sending thousands more US troops into battle. The president is under intense pressure to reinvigorate US strategy, faced with a strengthening Taliban insurgency and souring US public opinion on the eight-year war, but aides say he will not make a final decision for weeks.
