I imagine the Taliban were breathing down Barry’s neck and pressuring him to give them so kind of a date.
Whoulda’ thunk it?
We have the Islamic enemy calling the shots here.
Deism (pronounced /ˈdiːɪzəm/, us dict: dē′·ĭzm)[1][2] is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe,...

I can confirm this! One of my oldest and dearest devil dogs just had to do one more patrol, so the boys wouldn’t be alone. Needless to say, it went terribly wrong for them all.
Yes, there are areas that we can pull out of next year and start to draw down. HOWEVER, Helmand and Kandahar provinces will be expanding operations for the next 2-3 years.
FOB Dwyer is scheduled for $100 million dollars of hangar, runway, and tarmac expansion over the next 5 years. We are doing the same thing at two other airbases in Afghanistan. Why would we be now be starting to expand/create three of the largest airbases in central Asia if we were pulling out?
BTW, Karzai and Obama have been given a take it or leave proposition by the Marines. The Marines will fight their fight their way or it's adios Afghanistan.
Generals Conway and Mattis call them the way they see them, nothing less, blunt and to the point. You ask a question you get an answer. They will not sell out their Marines for any politician, Karzai or Obama. That's why Karzai calls Helmand .... Marinistan.
