Afghan War Costs Now Outpace Iraq's

Not exactly.



Obama hedged it, left himself a loophole, with the proverbial, "Depending on conditions at the time."



And he's refused to lay down benchmarks.



By the way, when Obama or anyone in government talks about leaving either Afghanistan or Iraq, they're not talking about removing all US troops and leaving the Iraqis and Afghans to govern themselves. There will be tens of thousands of troops left in "advisory and training" capacity, guarding US embassies and personnel (the US embassy in Iraq is the largest in the world, 104 acres within the city of Baghdad, the size of Vatican City within Rome). Obama consistently misleads by stating that he's withdrawing "combat troops", but the fact of the matter is that ALL troops are combat-trained and ready.



On TOP of that number of troops, there will be equal numbers of privatized troops.



What does the US need a 104-acre embassy (fort) inside of Baghdad for? Aside from standard embassy personnel, who is going to be in there? CIA operatives.
