U.S Soldiers Leaving Afghanistan?

U.S Defence Secretary Robert Gates yesterday raised the possibility of U.S forces leaving Afghanistan before Obama’s announced date of July 2011. Gates made suggestions on his visit to Kabul where U.S and British forces are training Afghan soldiers and police. A debate on Wednesday to conclude the 8-year-old war ended up losing by 356-65, which was expected, though anti-war representatives encouraged the debate as a chance to express the frustration that is put on the troop build up in Afghanistan. Gates added, “ At the end of the day only the Afghans will be able to provide long-term security for Afghanistan.”
