    It states: Pres. Obama to Bring 30,000 Afghanistan Troops Home


    Why doesn't he bring American troops home instead?

    I heard it was 10k to start. Al Jazeera's saying 97k next month. LOL. Even if we wanted to, we'd be hard pressed to bring 30k home in one month.

    it's a bit trickier though, and there are good points on both sides. I have to defer to the commanders on the ground there. If GEN Petraeus thinks it's ok to send them home, I trust him. If he says they should stay a bit longer, and some guy in a suit in the Obama Circle says no, then that's jacked up.

    Do they have travel visas, or what? That's a lot of foreign troops to bring over at once.
