#1 Rodney is so well known and respected he's not identifiable as a "Congressional staffer" except as referred to by Iran Press TV. Whackadoodle doesn't begin to describe him

#2 "Reluctance"???

To wit,

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [CNN, REUTERS = Twitter] OBAMA : US PLANS TO LEAVE 9800 TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AFTER 2014, THEN ONE-HALF OF THAT BY END OF 2015.

* SAME > BARACK OBAMA, ANNOUNCING US TROOP PLAN,SAYS AFGHANISTAN IS NOT A PERFECT PLACE, + ITS NOT US RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE IT SO.

Sounds like Vladimir Putin's recent comments on Russia's responsibility towards Ukraine's territorial sovereignty + integrity.

> SAME > US MILITARY IN AFGHNAISTAN WOULD "DRAW DOWN [reduce = shrink] TO NORMAL EMBASSY PRESENCE IN KABUL" BY END OF 2016.

> SAME > PETER BAKER > OBAMA = IOW, THE AFGHAN WAR WILL OVER AS FAR AS AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED BY THE TIME OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE [Jan 2017].

* RELATED TOPIX > [CBC Local] PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS END OF WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS FINALLY IN SIGHT.
