.........U.S. leader pledged to bring the conflict to a 'successful conclusion'......yeh......for whom?

What do they intend to do with the next 12-24 months to aid with their withdrawals what they have not managed to do for how many years now?

Took him three months to decide? ... Thats is very indecisive in my opinion!
30,000 now? Whats changed in the three months?

30k is a good move, but their needs to be a lot more. Afghanistan is a very large place to try and change "hearts and minds".
647,500 SQ KM - Afghanistan
244,820 SQ KM - United Kingdom

I am trying to think if there are any American wars that have had a successful solution.

I am sure he pledged to reduce the numbers but what do you expect from an American President. Just think he visits China who give him some money to help the economy but instead he spends it on war.

Thats like when I would not use the bus so I could the fare to buy more sweets.

I heard that Obama was not expected to last even the first term but is it possible for him to be removed unless he does something illegal which as of yet he has not done. Murder is exceptable behavior for a countries leader.

I think they decided a long time ago, after all the Caspian sea sector is still largely untapped....

I have to congratulate this guy. It usually takes about 18 months for most American presidents to earn as little trust as Mr Obama appears to have earned in the few months since he came to power.
