Rear Admiral John Kirby - thats a telling issue. He is not the State Department nor even Sec Defense. Its just his opinion. What does Kerry/Obama have to say? Although I believe that Karzai will only survive a US pullout by selling his soul to the Taliban (or the highest bidder), we should pull out of Afghanistan yesterday. My son, a Marine Major, would remind me of the complexities of doing this and my daughter, an Air Force Lt. Colonel could probably draw up the withdrawal plans. But our people are in harms way with no strategic plan in place and with no Status of Forces Agreement signed. I am deeply regretful for the fate of the Afghan tribes and multiple ethnic and tribal groups, but weve done all we can do here. dutch Commander, USN ret
