I did not say he ended any conflicts. He also has yet to decide if we will add or subtract troops.
Having a so called war on terror was just idiotic any way you look at it. Having the assorted color coded alert levels was also idiotic.
Troop levels are currently set as they are right now because the military requested them earlier on. He also said he was getting more advice before committing more to Afghanistan in the near future or if we should scale it back to more specialized units and get their forces more in line with self protection.
We all know our real concern in Pakistan. That is what makes the whole conflict down there confusing and of real concern at the same time. Everyone clearly knows India will not stand for Pakistan to go to the fringe political parties.
Quick PS - troop levels are one thing. The fucking contractors are another matter and they piss me off.
