British troops to come home in 2014
2012-01-29
LONDON/KABUL: British Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed on Saturday that he was sticking to an end-2014 deadline for withdrawing British combat troops from Afghanistan.

“We ... want to have a long-term relationship with Afghanistan, long after our combat troops come home, and that will happen at the end of 2014,” Cameron said during a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at the prime minister’s country residence Chequers outside London.

#3  Dunno, Glenmore.... Our big problem with Islamic terrorism is in Pakistan with some Saudi financing. We keep giving our borrowed money to the Paks in hopes they won't betray us. Is it insanity or stupidity? Or both? Drives me almost around the bend. Bad investment.
