This should please every one


It just matters which new source you consider when you seek enlightenment. On the Raw Story news site the headline was,
New US Defense Secretary considering quicker withdrawal from Afghanistan
And if you were to cruise over to Al-Jazeera you would find this headline.
US considering slowing exit from Afghanistan
Supposedly we will remove all the troops by 2016, we will simply be changing their scheduled withdrawal dates to accommodate the new government. Faster or slower really means very little because come the end time in 2016, there will be a new argument to drag out heels. We aren't ready to give up the Empire just yet.

UPDATE: The consensus among "reliable" news sources like the WaPo & the NYT is that we will slow down the withdrawal. The new Afghan government is no more capable of defending itself than the old one. Not really surprising.
