Obama signals drawdown plan for Afghanistan in 2015
President Obama outlined a staged withdrawal, keeping about 9,800 troops in Afghanistan in 2015 and reducing US forces further by 2016. The plan hinges on Karzai’s successor signing a bilateral security agreement, with both runoff candidates indicating support. The move aims to consolidate gains, train Afghan forces, and conduct limited counter-terrorism, despite a fragile Afghan government, corruption, and ongoing insurgency.
