Obama: Afghanistan troop withdrawal process to start next year

President Obama today repeated his pledge to start the process of withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July, and expressed confidence that the Afghans will be able to take responsibility for their security in 2014.

Whether all U.S. troops can be withdrawn in 2014 remains to be seen, Obama said, saying it depends on how well things are going against Taliban insurgents.

"I'll make that determination when I get there," Obama said at a news conference after a NATO summit.

3. 2014 "based on conditions on the ground" and then to the Iraq model

of scaling back on troops and bringing in the illegal mercenaries for eternal occupation.

Fuck the establishment, they are all for scuttling the country.
