Mr. Obama was given a range of options for the withdrawal last week by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan. The military favours a gradual reduction in troops but other advisers are advocating a significant decrease in the coming months.
So much with the US 'war-on-terror', finally handing over a major portion of Afghanistan to 'Taliban' the original shielder of "Al Quaida" and exiting, leaving scores millions of innocent Afghanistanis in the lurch!
Officials said Mr. Obama was expected to lay out at least two benchmarks for bringing troops home. The first withdrawal, in July, could reduce the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan by up to 5,000.
