The plan is to withdraw to major population ceters where we will have a better human shield. What was the point of trying to control Nuristan anyway?

Just imagine how lucky Afghanistans are today.If Bush/Chenny were still in power,the whole place would be on fire,—relentless daily aerial bombings.
Most folks can't give some credit to Obama's slow withdrawal and not to offend the war hawks.

Hey lets get this straight, the US forces DID NOT retreat from those bases, they simply advanced to the rear…Closer to the Evac points. At the current rate of collapse of our imperial occupation of Afghanistan I'd put our "Saigon" moment at sometime before Q2 2010. We will take huge casualties this winter as our supply lines are strategically cut and the population turns on us en-masse. Many NGO's are going to die this winter and much of what they are building will be destroyed. I strongly suggest that everyone in Afghanistan stay close to buildings with flat roofs suitable for landing a helicopter AND keep helmets handy to sit on in the choppers. But remember everyone, they hate us because we are free….
