Washington, July 28: The situation in Af-Pak area is "not fine" and "hunky dory", the US has acknowledged, even as the Obama Administration has said that the policy for the restive region also includes how to deal with Pakistan.
"Nobody is here to say that all of our problems dealing with Afghanistan and Pakistan are finished," the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, said.
"All our problems are not solved, but we're making progress," he added.
"We haven't told you that everything is all fine and hunky-dory. That's quite the opposite of what we've said.
We came into office understanding that for seven years, as the (US) President said today, a strategy had been under-resourced and under-funded," Gibbs argued.
A commanding general (during the previous Bush Administration) sat in Afghanistan and said he needed more troops, despite the fact that no troops came, he said.
