The Problem With A Deadline For Afghanistan Pullout

And Iraq for that matter.


The only thing enemy forces will do is sit and wait for the USA to leave, things will magically quiet down, Obama will take all the credit, and once U.S. forces pull out of these places, they will go down to Hell again.


Nothing good can come out of saying a deadline publicly.

Actually that's the opposite of what will happen. Once the surge ends, the Taliban will attack like crazy, increasing their offensive as the date for the pullout arrives. It's not enough that the Americans leave but that they look like they were chased away.

Garnel read carefully, "once U.S. forces pull out of these places, they will go down to Hell again."

And you are right about "It's not enough that the Americans leave but that they look like they were chased away." Good point.
