Obama To Announce Afghanistan Plan On Wednesday : NPR (http://www.npr.org/2011/06/20/137308358/obama-to-announce-afghanistan-plan-on-wednesday?ft=1&f=1001&sc=tw - broken link)
I wouldn't expect large amounts, probably not even a brigade.
I wouldn't be too sure. he has several calling for small numbers and some calling for larger numbers. I would guess he will be moderate as usual, taking the best advice of all and making a middle type decision. Whatever the choice, Dems will cry too small, Repubs will cry too large and too small, just to be sure they have a talking point.
President Obama has announced the withdraw of all U.S. troops inside the Afghanistan border. In other news, research has begun on how pigs started to fly and how exactly that snowball made it through hell.

Well a Brigade would be about 4000 troops. Two Brigades would probably be closer to 10,000 troops. While I don't think thats nearly enough, I don't think he'll withdraw more than that, at this time.
It'll be a staged withdraw also, where small amounts leave over time.
We should pull out of Afghanistan immediately and cut off all aid to Pakistan and let then kill each other as that's what is going to happen anyways regardless if it's now or 10 years from now.
Bush's mission was a complete failure and Obama is a complete failure for continuing this farce. Thousands of lives wasted on both sides for what ???
The US military cannot change the mindset of this idiotic stone age religion of "Peace".
Sure why not. And then not 30 sec.'s after clearing airspace, nuke the entire South Central Asian region w/ 3 W87 Peace keepers per target. Yes...the ENTIRE South Central Asian region.
