#1 It's that no beer thingy, right?

#2 I believe so, Porcopius. Figured it wouldn't be long after a "no alcohol" policy for them to pull up stakes.

#3 Germany mulls?

A candidate mulls. Please notice the difference.

"We want to create the conditions ... by 2013 so that the withdrawal can begin,"

Well that's not bad per se. Nobody wants to stay forever, right? It's not likely that in 2013 the conditions will be achieved but trying to do so is not a bad thing.

#4 The US, NATO, and the Afghan Army need to "exit" via Karachi, taking on anyone in their way. Once they've finished (hopefully with some help from India), the "Pashtunistan" problem will be solved, the Jammu & Kashmir problem will be solved, the security problem with Pakistani nukes will be solved, and the extremist madrassa problem will be solved. Afterwards, Afghanistan and India can agree on a common border (the Indus River), and another problem is solved. What's NOT to like by such a strategy?
