Afghanistan; A drawdown not a withdrawal

Robert Naiman, Policy director of Just Foreign Policy: "Panetta's statement is a welcome admission that there is nothing to be gained by further extending the war. This admission is consistent with the accelerated drawdown of forces that the majority of Americans want. But it is important for the public to know that there is still no schedule for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and much of the media is still falsely reporting that there is such a schedule, such as the New York Times article that reported on Panetta's statement....There is currently no year by which all American troops are scheduled to come home"
