WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown have turned the focus of Afghan war planning toward an exit strategy, publicly declaring that the U.S. and its allies can't send additional troops without a plan for getting them out.

The shift has unnerved some U.S. and foreign officials, who say that planning a pullout now -- with or without a specific timetable -- encourages the Taliban to wait out foreign forces and exacerbates fears in the region that the U.S. isn't fully committed to their security.

We haven’t hit bottom yet ,I guess.

Ain’t it a shame.

Ummmm....Paris Peace talks come to mind. Oh well, that is just history. Sorry, I lost my head for a minute.

Mr. President, patriots are planning an exit strategy... from your policies.

.........let me get this straight: we can’t beat a poorly equiped third world army so we’re just giving up?

I think this has more to do with COMPLETE DIP$H!T$ running the government than military failure.

Wish I could say I was surprised. :(

What a great message to the brave Afghan people who have fought for a semblence of freedom, have backed the US involvement and have hoped for a better constitutional republic form of government. They must be scared to death now. Also, a great message to send to the Taliban Barack. Thanks. . .

We should withdraw from Afghanistan AND Iraq — via Tehran.
