US-Afghanistan withdrawal in 6-Months?

US gives Karzai six-month ultimatum to stem Afghanistan corruption

“If he doesn’t meet the conditions within six months, Obama has told him America will pull out,” said an official with access to Mr Karzai’s inner circle. “Obama said they don’t want their soldiers’ lives wasted for nothing. They want changes in Cabinet, and changes in his personal staff.”

Now I have to say, it seems rather injudicious to make a statement like this.

Assuming there are those who are determined to get Americans out of the region, this will provide them with a tangible target towards reach that end.

Sadly, regardless of the nature of the statement, we can infer that high-level intrigue is at play here.

All predictions in my opinion. A pool of members guesses would be a way of keeping the thread lively. We could use our ATS points for chips if the mods would help. Pick a date any date and lay your ATS chips down.

Seems like the necessary war may soon be wrapping up.

Obama said in an interview with NBC News Wednesday that his strategy in Afghanistan will "put us on a path towards ending the war" and that his goal is not to pass the conflict on to the next president.

He also declined to say he trusted Afghan President Hamid Karzai, offering praise to Karzai for holding his country together but saying: "He has some strengths, but he has some weaknesses."

"I'm less concerned about any individual than I am with a government as a whole that is having difficulty providing basic services to its people," Obama said in his latest blunt assessment of the Karzai government, whose competence is an essential part of a U.S. war effort now in its ninth year.
