The thing I'm glad about is that we DO have an exit strategy. As nebulous as it is, and as much as can come up in 18 months to screw up the best laid plans, at least I can now believe I have a president who's not committed to an open-ended state of war. I'm interested in that for US, not for Afghanistan. They've lived the way they currently live for thousands of years, and they've proven themselves throughout history to be AMPLY skilled at defending that way of life. There'll be no change we can bring in 18 months.
The thing that's really troubling to me about this is the way it's being spun by the left as a betrayal. Obama RAN ON THIS PLAN. Agree or disagree with it, fine, but if you're surprised by it at this point, you're just too dumb to vote anymore.

I heard a piece on NPR this morning full of liberal Californians bitching and moaning about all the work they did to get Obama elected and now they feel betrayed. I thought it was pretty rich, given that Obama made it perfectly clear during the campaign that it would take us a while to get out of Afghanistan.
I have to agree--I am just glad we have an exit strategy. I'm taking a wait-and-see approach to this, I guess.
