WASHINGTON The United States must look for a way out of the war in Afghanistan, President Obama said, in a signal that the military build-up in Afghanistan will not be open-ended and will lead to the eventual withdrawal of American and NATO troops from the country.

He's building up a police force of 400k in Afghanistan of a population of 30 Million and then leaving.

We all might just as well have voted for R-U-N Paul. So much for complaining that the Iraq war was taking the focus off of the real war (that being Afghanistan). Yet another lie told by The One.

OMG
Obama’s 100 day “war on challenge” is wearing him down
Well, just pick a withdrawal date and publish it in the NYT, dumbo. That seems to be the accepted democrat exit strategy

Obama’s War On Terror:
1. Talk tough to get elected
2. When ground commanders make requests - send half
3. Appease enemy while voters are not looking
4. Appease enemy while voters are looking
5. Surrender

What in the world is wrong with this clown? He sends a additional 13,000 troops (30,000 asked for) to the region, and NOW HE WANTS “EXIT STRATEGY’?! Kinda makes you continue to ask, “who’s REALLY pulling the strings?”

He has just declared failure. He is afraid to be at war because he only knows how to be a street thug.
The cowardly left is killing us
The man is a menace and a threat to America.

To understand an “exit strategy” from a war, you need a true Commander in Chief that the military will follow. Along with that, if you are going to fight a war, FIGHT THE WAR. Don’t go in half assed. Even the Romans understood the idea of “Overwhelming force”. Instead of 17,000 troops, send in 40,000 and hit them with everything we have.

That is his exit strategy - send only enough troops to lose.
