The President (in his public statements) has seemed to indicate that July 2011 is a hard deadline for when some troops are going to head home... Some of his advisers have indicated that the deadline is not a hard one, so we shall see...


I would say some troops are going to be coming home prior to 2012, but it does not mean we will be out of there, or that the war is won etc.


As an aside, we are not pursuing the typical COIN strategy in Afghanistan, because it is simply not feasible...rather it is a modified version that does not seek to obtain all the typical goals.
