Eugene Robinson: End the Afghan mission now

6. Don't expect President Obama to move up any timetables he's set to end this bloody occupation

“But what we don’t want to do is to do it in a way that is just a rush for the exits,” Obama said. “So we’re going to do it in a responsible way.”

“We’ve got to do it in a responsible way -- reducing our footprint progressively, giving Afghans more and more responsibility while we keep an eye on going after Al Qaeda and making sure that no attacks against our homeland can be launched from that region,” Obama said. “That’s going to be my continued focus for the next couple of years.”

So no exits for the next couple of years - just keep rotating the used-up troops in and out, over and over until the CIA special ops drone forces take over. Stick to the plan no matter how insane it is or how much insanity it creates.

Does anyone think attacks against our homeland can be launched from that region? If they do, expect these wars won't end until every country in the region has been reduced to rubble.
