WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama is unlikely to make a decision on his Afghan strategy before he embarks on his trip to Asia on Nov. 11, a senior administration official said on Saturday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stressed that while a decision was unlikely, it had not been ruled out. The timing of Obama's announcement would not be influenced by outside factors, he said, referring to the political flux in Afghanistan after a disputed presidential election in August.
