My topic is the Draw down in Afghanistan. In the next month at least 800 troops will be leaving Afghanistan without return to Afghanistan. In his last and final press conference, defense secretary Robert Gates announced that a decision was made in Washington to not send troops in fear of redeployment when president Obama makes his draw down decision at the end of the month. The plan is to withdraw 30,000 troops by the end of 2012. 10,000 troops by the end of this year, and 20,000 troops by the end of next year.
