U.S. President Barack Obama has kept his promise to change the American image in the Muslim world, the White House said Tuesday. “I would say … that yes, the president has kept the commitments that he made there. He's been, I think, very transparent and clear about what his objectives are, about what the interests of the United States are, who our foes are, who they are not,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters. “The president has also committed … to making sure that our military operations in a place like Afghanistan have a very clear objective … And he made sure that he thoroughly reviewed the situation in Afghanistan, thoroughly reviewed our policy objectives, our resources, and put in place a policy with a very specific goal and the resources necessary to fulfill it,” Carney said. Last Monday (June 04) was the three year anniversary of the speech Obama made in Cairo in which he made promises concerning the Middle East peace process, ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and positively changing the view the Muslim world has of the United States.
