Obama Explains Why The U.S. Isn’t Pulling Out Of Afghanistan After All – Live Feed

Obama explains the “strategy” shift in Afghanistan:
Background
As the old adage goes: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and as the recent bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz clearly shows, the US military presence in Afghanistan is doing wonders for stability and security which is presumably why the Obama administration has just done a 180 on troop deployment in the country.
Under Obama’s previous plan, Washington would withdraw most of the 9,800 troops operating in the country by the end of next year, leaving a force of just 1,000.
Now, all 9,800 troops will remain for “most” of next year and 5,500 troops will remain in 2017.
