"In a somewhat downbeat press gaggle en route back Copenhagen, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama found his 25-minute meeting with Afghan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal on the tarmac today "very productive" and said Obama and McChrystal agreed the current debate over Af-Pak strategy is part of a "helpful process."

Gibbs: "I talked to the President a bit about it. The President thought the meeting was very productive, an extension of the meetings that have been had thus far as we reassess and reevaluate moving forward in Afghanistan. The President has selected General McChrystal because of his ability and his leadership and I think after having seen him again, it simply underscored the fact that -- many of the reasons why he picked him.  "They both agree that this is a helpful process. General McChrystal expects that the President and others are going to ask him questions about the assessment that he's made and that we're going to ask questions of our diplomatic side, of our intelligence side, and of all of those involved in this to get the best strategy for success in Afghanistan."
