Gates ends Afghanistan trip as Iran's Ahmadinejad begins his
KABUL, Afghanistan - After surveying training camps in eastern Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Robert Gates hinted Wednesday that U.S. troops could be leaving earlier than the announced July 2011 troop withdrawal date.
Without giving details, Gates said that any early pullout and hand over of control to Afghan forces "would have to be conditions-based."
"We will begin that transition no later than July 2011, but the pace will depend also on conditions on the ground," Gates said after watching training exercises at Camp Blackhorse, where Afghan soldiers are trained by U.S. and British forces.

Well that would be great since the Iraqis are still trying to figure out how to do it 9 years later. With all the bucks we pored into that hole they should be the best equipped, disciplined, and trained troops in the world. Watch the news and they still run around like a middle eastern fire drill every time something happens and call for american backup. Do you really think the Afghans will be much different.?
