No turning back Obama widens Afghan war withdrawal
President Obama declared an unequivocal drawdown in Afghanistan with a target end state by 2014 and a post withdrawal role limited to counterterrorism and advisory work. He set 10,000 out in 2011 and about 23,000 more by summer 2012, framing the move as a necessary response to economic strains and public demand.
