Only days after Ron Paul famously said his candidacy is a response to "endless, undeclared, unwinnable wars dumped on the young people", White House sources frantically confirmed that President Obama will shortly announce his plans to withdraw 10,000 troops from Afghanistan in a phased manner by the end of 2011.

Although, White House spokesman Jay Carney stressed on the fact that this was no immediate measure, and that the President was contemplating on making this move for the past few weeks, the timing of the announcement makes it obvious that it is a step taken with the 2012 elections in sight.

Even if Obama pulls this many troops, there will still be more troops there now than when he took over. You can't increase the size of our involvement, then reduce it a little and call that a drawdown.

Although, this will give some cover for the spin machine.

I like this article. It is refreshing to see something basically admit that the race is going to be between Obama and RON PAUL.
