A US Marine soldier prepares before leaving for combat in Helmand Province, southwest of capital Kabul in May 2008. The Pentagon is unable to send additional combat brigades to Afghanistan this year because of constraints imposed by the war in Iraq, leaving a shift of forces to the next president, a spokesman said Wednesday.
