UK and Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that the level of UK troops in Afghanistan will fall to around six thousand by the end of the year. 

Lets Get Real:

The blunt opinion of the UK's role in Afghanistan has been clear in this blog since it started in 2006, Afghanistan is a hell hole, just after Vietnam if your going to fight a War, and its a War you cant and not willing to win.   There have been recent reports of a major political blow up in a video conference between Oval and Kabul, there are reports that the Oval might not leave any troops in Afghanistan, if this is true its one of the wisest things that has come out of the Oval since the 20th of January 2009.   The idea to leave troops in Afghanistan is just plain mad, they would be a major target for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, every hit would be a PR victory for the terrorists,  thus the UK and the US should leave Afghanistan, rent bases on the border of the badlands of the Afghan and Pakistan border and send drones over time there is a threat.  Lets GET OUT, Afghanistan is not worth one more Western life.    On 0 reserve troops if true the Oval is 100% right, guess folks even a ego maniac can have a sound thoughts once in two terms.
