Does it mean “has made a promise to supply troops” or “has made a total 100,000 promise”? President Obama announced last week the deployment of another 30,000 U.S. forces to Afghanistan, increasing the total U.S. troop commitment to almost 100,000, while at least 25 other countries have pledged another 7,000 troops. What does “commitment to almost 100,000” mean? Does it mean “has made a promise to supply troops” or “has made a total 100,000 promise”?
