In Afghanistan, it's actually an easy decision. Destroy the poppy. Like
the CIA will ever let that happen.

Pipelines are a big issue.

To be honest this should be a good thing. The Taliban is actually a government,
not a terrorist organization. They do support Al Quida though, and supply
soldiers to them. If the Taliban can separate themselves from Al Quida that
would be a step in the right direction.

OK, here we go.
Yes, the US WILL be pulling out. We have been doing so for a while now. We are
not going to just leave en-masse. It's an orderly withdrawal that will take
some time. With that being said, there will still be some NATO forces remaining
in the country for things such as
yeah, but that's quite a bit different than going out on patrols every day
in unfriendly areas, basically making yourself a target. I'm fine with us
keeping a force there as a means for backup. But I think it's a huge deal
that we're no longer going to be on the front lines..don't you???

Yes, I agree with that. We need to let the afghans lead from the front. I was

I understand fully what is happening, and it's what any reasonable person
would expect to happen when the President of the US says the US Forces are
pulling out of Afghanistan.
However more than one person made the statement that the US is *not*
pulling out, and one of the
Yes, but when people say that NATO is pulling out, what they usually mean is
a total withdrawal, which is not the case, so I wanted to be sure that everyone
was clear on the matter.
It's hit the news wires on more than on occasion that the top brass of the US
military has stated that
So, back to the original point. I do not like the phrase pulling out,
because again it implies a total withdrawal. I think that the more accurate
phrase would be NATO forces are scaling back considerably over the next
year or so.
But scaling back doesn't sound as good as pulling out. When the

Personally, I don't think we're ending combat operations anywhere. They
might be labelled special ops or given some other newspeak name in order to
divert attention.
We are an imperialistic country right now
