Impossible
Next year
Thom Shanker in The Times: “On Afghanistan’s battlefields, the most significant effect of President Obama’s latest orders will be felt at this time next year, when as many as 23,000 American troops who would have been on missions at the peak of the summer fighting season will instead be packing for home.
This will make it more difficult, if not impossible, military experts said, for the commanders to carry out one of their major goals for next year.”
What were the major goals for next year again?

If you like to protest there is a niece manifestation taking place . It starts at th Boijmans van Beuningen ,20:00, in Rotterdam and in ends in The Hague monday afternoon. Really worth while.Peter

'niece manifestation' .Gay parade?

Well, at least she's funnier than you. I would say: 1-0 for Dutoit.Yes, the main goal of the USA to engage in a more closer relationship with Afghanistan was to kill Bin Laden, to dismantle Al Qaeda and to chase his protectors, the Taliban.
But, like in any relationship, it is unrealistic to think that only one partner will decide over the next main goal (there is still the Taliban, other Afghani, Pakistan, China, India, etcetera … )
