France threatens Afghan pullout after troops killed
"France threatened on Friday to pull out early from the NATO-led war in Afghanistan after a rogue Afghan soldier opened fire on French soldiers, killing four and wounding about 15 others.
The killings in the Taghab valley of Afghanistan's eastern Kapisa province were the latest in a series of incidents in which Afghan troops have turned on Western allies.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said all French operations on the ground were being suspended and his defense minister was dispatched to Afghanistan to clarify the situation."
Obama has signaled for the three years of his presidency that he will abandon Afghanistan. He just wanted to wait until after this year’s election. The Taliban may not be willing to wait that long.
