Obama moves toward exit from Afghanistan
"I don't see how this ends in anything other than a run to the exit. I cannot think of one European country that wants to be in Afghanistan more than the Americans," said Tomas Valasek of the Centre for European Reform in London. "What will be important is what happens in two or three years from now If Obama gets re-elected, and it all goes wrong, and Kabul has turned into another Mogadishu - then he would clearly have some explaining to do."
