"Quitting Afghanistan"

Bassam Javed, The Int'l News [Pakistan] | November 27, 2009

As in Iraq, there is no victory to be found in Afghanistan. ++ Only when foreign troops leave will the conflict come to an end. ++ Whether there will be an increase in troops or not, the question still remains: will the new Afghanistan strategy look for a fall-guy? ++ The growing perception among the political and military leadership in Pakistan is that the US wants to "transfer its war heritage" to allow itself a graceful exit from Afghanistan. ++ At any rate, the US must work for the formation of a broadly-supported government.

I like this comment! What's this?
it was going after pernament base rigths and will keep a force of 40.000 there. I think there also going to build bases in India to keep an eye on Pakistan so the Taliban doesn't overthrow their military and get their nukes. I've heard this from my friends in the military.
