For the first time since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, there are more U.S. troops deployed in Afghanistan than Iraq -- 94,000 compared with 92,000 (BBC, AP, AFP, Tel). The total number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is expected to reach 98,000 later this year, and has roughly tripled under the Obama administration.
