It's How we get them out

Begin quote:
As White House press secretary Robert Gibbs put it to reporters on Monday, it's "not just how we get people there, but what's the strategy for getting them out." end quote.

Any military man worth his salt knows that the only way to win in Afghanistan now is to nuke the place. But since no sane person on earth advocates that we have to learn when to withdraw troops so it doesn't just become another nightmare like the Soviets went through. So it is sort of now a holding action to prevent more bad things coming from Afghanistan and Pakistan to India, China, Europe, North and South America, Australia, AFrica and the rest of the world.

Everyone knows Afghanistan has never been held long by any nation, Not Alexander the Great, Not Great Britain, Not the Soviets and Not Nato and the americans. So withdrawing has never been if but always when. Any sane and sensible person on earth knows this.
So I'm very grateful that Obama and his military staff have taken time to craft under what conditions we will begin withdrawing troops. And hopefully this includes "How do we withdraw them without endangering them further?"
