Obama Pullout

Above is the link for a New York Times article which says that on Wednesday, President Barack Obama will announce the pullout of surge forces in Afghanistan.

Currently there are 30,000 US troops in Afghanistan that were deployed in the Surge, which have been there since 2009

There have been speculations as to how the withdrawal will take place,however, the one that will most likely take place will be the withdrawal of 15,00 this year, and then 15,000 by the end of 2012.

however it may take place, there are still 68,000 troops in Afghanistan after this removal.
