Biden: Totally Out of Afghanistan by 2014

VICE PRES. BIDEN: What happened there? We signed, three years ago, an agreement with the Iraqis saying that what we're going to do is, two summers ago we're going to draw all combat troops out of the cities, populated areas. Then we said, our administration, we're going to draw 100,000 troops out the next summer. And we're going to be totally out. In the meantime, we're going to help build a government, we're going to transfer responsibility, and we're going to be gone. That's exactly what we did at the recent Lisbon conference, the NATO conference, where we said,

"We're starting this process, just like we did in Iraq. We're starting it in July of 2011, and we're going to be totally out of there come hell or high water by 2014."

Now I recall Obama saying we would start withdrawing tooops this summer...I recall thinking that that would be the end of it..
Now it is 2014..
Is this a change? or did Obama lie?
Can you do both? Biden says drawing down will start in July . And 2014 is a very very long way off.
You tell me.
