Obama announces withdrawal of 34,000 troops from Afghan war

In his State of the Union Address, US President Barack Obama has announced
that 34,000 US troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan within a year and has
pledged that by the end of 2014, the US war in the country will be over.
“After a decade of grinding war, our brave men and women in uniform are
coming home,” Obama said on Tuesday night.
“Tonight, I can announce that over the next year, another 34,000 American
troops will come home from Afghanistan. This drawdown will continue. And by the
end of next year, our war in Afghanistan will be over,” he added.
But political analysts say a full troop withdrawal by the end of 2014 is
highly unlikely since the Pentagon is expected to maintain a small presence in
the country.
The United States currently has 66,000 troops in Afghanistan, down from
about 100,000 in 2010.
Last month, Obama held discussions with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on the
timetable for transitioning Afghan forces into the lead combat role, with both
leaders agreeing to move up the transition date from the summer to the spring.
The US-led war in Afghanistan began in 2001. The offensive removed the
Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across the country,
despite the presence of about over 100,000 US-led troops.
