Well, I won't be holding my breath waiting for the Afghanistan pullout. Not only that, I am not even convinced an immediate US withdrawal is good for Afghans. After all we might very well see the return of the Taliban, and worse, even Pakistan may get destabilized. Not sure there are *any* good options there. That's why I personally withhold judgment on Obama based on Afghanistan. I am far more disappointed in his endless groveling before the Wall St bankers, and that's where I'd look for reforms. -raghu. -- Have you ever noticed?
