Obama's planned drawdown is neither fast enough or soon enough

But there is a strong indicator that he is going in the right direction and resisting the warmongering factions. Admiralissimo Mullen thinks Barry is moving too fast.
The U.S. military's top officer told Congress on Thursday that President Barack Obama's decision to withdraw up to 33,000 troops from Afghanistan by next summer is riskier than he originally was prepared to endorse.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a House hearing that he supports the president's plans. But Mullen said they are "more aggressive and incur more risk" than he had considered prudent.

"More force for more time is, without doubt, the safer course," Mullen said. "But that does not necessarily make it the best course. Only the president, in the end, can really determine the acceptable level of risk we must take. I believe he has done so."
Adm. Mullen is retiring soon, Barry should advance that date for him.

us shouldn't poke it's nose in afghanistan in the first place. But united states keeps on interfering in other's matters like in syria, libya etc. This attitude is very dangerous. Not just for the rest of the world, but for the people of and the united states itself.
