[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 607090, member: 2189"] As far as I'm concerned those men and women are on their own! If you and others have stopped bouncing off the wall now ......... Obviously it would be a protected withdrawal and it would require some amount of time for an orderly process. No I don't think 18 months either. How long and how? Give me full access to all details and force resources over there and I can give you a more precise answer bit I am thinking months and less than a year if you want specific. If it can be done safely and orderly in weeks, so much the better. You wanna stay, I wanna go. Opinions vary. OEF from my understanding has about 29k US Troops in the eastern and southern part of the country and ISAF under NATO in and around Kabul has about the same number of US Troops assigned to a large NATO force. Allowing a protection of withdrawal and just knowing what little I do know of actual on ground facts and logisitics, I'd first withdraw all operations into Pakaistan and withdraw the OEF forces back to Kabul area for re-deployment home. Air defense and predator drones would give air cover of such operations too. Once OEF forces were out, then I'd begin withdrawal of our ISAF forces assigned to NATO. NATO could stay if it liked but we're out. I'd then withdraw from NATO and close all global military bases with a similar like process. We're done being global policeman and also the world source of welfare payments. As for the contractors working for various bussinesses and corporations over there? They should contract their contractor HR department. They are not my problem and that comment is no joke! I found it ironic you wanted to extend infrastructure and other support welfare (jobs program) for Afghanistan (I oppose obviously) while opposing the likes of such or anything remote to it here at home. Interesting and telling all at the same time! They have farmers over there growing cucumbers until [URL="http://news.antiwar.com/2009/08/06/us-kills-five-afghan-cucumber-farmers-in-air-strike/"][COLOR=red]we blow them up[/COLOR] [/URL]and their trucks loaded with cucumbers claiming they were some type of explosive devices.
