Let's see what happens
I think I'll comment on this post after his speech.

If anything at all, I believe as a military strategy, letting the world know the time line in which we plan to exit is not smart but on the other hand, in the political and social scheme of things a time line at least still let's the public know his campaign promise is not completely broken and that this surge of troops is "temporary", so we believe....
