British Prime Minister David Cameron lands in Washington Tuesday, to back President Barack Obama’s bid to cool “loose talk” over war with Iran and as Afghan war policy faces sharp scrutiny. The meat of the visit will come Wednesday as Obama welcomes Cameron to Oval Office talks, the two leaders hold a press conference and enjoy the pageantry of a state dinner at the White House.
Cameron’s arrival comes at a moment of extreme stress for the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan, following a string of incidents which culminated in a massacre of civilians on Sunday by a renegade U.S. soldier.
Both sides say they are committed to a timetable which would see the last Western combat troops withdrawn from the country at the end of 2014, but there is rising debate about the pace of the drawdown.
