The Afghan war was started on October 7, 2001 as the forces of the United States, United Kingdom, Austrailia and the united front of afghan launched a operation called Operation Enduring Freedoom. One of the main reasons of this war was the attack on 911 on the united states. What we were trying to do is to get rid of al-Qaeda terrorists and ending there use of afghanistan as a base. They were also trying to get rid of the talibans power and make afghanistan a democracy. Soon the war had expanded into Pakistan. On december 1, 2009 Obama had anounced that over the next 6 months he would send in 30,000 troops. He also set a date for troops to be coming back in 2014. On June 22, 2011 Oboma announced 10,000 troops will be taken out by 2012. Another 23,000 will be taken out the summer of 2012. After 10,000 troops were taken out there were still 80,000 troops still there.
