Anyone hear about this? There is some scuttlebutt going around not only in the Pentagon but also with a friend of mine that works at CO-NG HQ that Obama is said to pull almost 40,000 troops between July and December out of Afghanistan. I'm no expert, but I've been there (2009) and have friends there now, pulling out is not the right COA at this time. Maybe in a few years, but it seems to me like Barry O is trying to be known as the Prez who shut down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to hell with who in the population it damns and how it affects the security of the region with terror groups like Haqqani and Hezb-i-Islami who are notorious for plotting and planning attacks on NATO troops in Afghanistan that will just rise up and toss out the current government.
Sad day, looks like the next CIC will have to deploy forces there in a few years all over again and roust yet another group that plans to attack the US and our allies.
