US and Nato agree over Afghanistan

President Barack Obama and Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen have stressed winning the war in Afghanistan would require a "team" effort which prioritised strategy over resources.

After a meeting at the White House, Mr Rasmussen said he agreed with the US president's approach, adding "the first thing is not numbers".

It comes after a report by US and Nato commander General Stanley McChrystal which, among other recommendations, called for more combat troops to be deployed to the region.
