Defense Secretary Ashton Carter in his first overseas trip on Saturday suggested that the United States is “rethinking” the pace of the drawdown of troops from Afghanistan.
The newly confirmed Pentagon chief said that President Obama is exploring whether to leave a greater number of troops in Afghanistan this year and in 2016.
In recent weeks, the White House pointed to a possible new strategy for Afghanistan, but Carter’s comments Saturday were the clearest indication of the ongoing deliberations.

Ashton Carter essentially said lets kill more people. Clearly unqualified for public service on planet Earth.
