He gave us a defined goal for getting out of that country.


With the rift growing ever larger between the Taliban and Al Qaeda...

The possibility of the Talilban, targeting Al Qaeda hiding spots, could give us a one two three and we are out of there... Mission accomplished.

Talking to some friends who are current and retired military, they said, if Obama does this right.. and he seems to be headed in that direction, we could be out of Afghanistn before Iraq. Once we had confirmation of the death of Bin Laden and his second command in custody there would be no reason for us to be there.

Fingers crossed
