The Drawdown

Next month the administration will begin to draw down troops out of Afghanistan. All the pundits on the networks are making their prediction as to how many from 5000 to 10,000 beginning next month. I have noticed that most of the so-called experts keep saying we have to stay until the Afghan Army is properly trained. When you go into the American Armed Forces the normal procedure is you are training for about 16 weeks and then can be sent anywhere in the world including to the two wars we are involved in. As I understand it at this point we have been in Afghanistan for 10 years so what is the problem the troops of this country should be well trained by now. They do not need any more time and if they do that would be the problem of their government. Of course the corrupt government of Afghanistan wants to keep America there as long as possible we leave and the money is cut off. Have you ever stopped to think when you hear these generals saying we need more time I guess 10 years is not enough that they will be out of a job if there is no war. This country of Afghanistan needs to start defending themselves our job is done we should leave as soon as possible there's no need to wait until 2014. If they don't have the basics down by now they never will.
