President Obama in Weekly Address: “By the End of Next Year, America’s War in Afghanistan Will be Over” – Video 1/12/13

President Obama used his Weekly Address to lay out the U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan. Obama essentially declared the U.S. has reached the objective of decimating Al-Qaeda and preventing them from using Afghanistan as a base of operations.

Charles Krauthammer believes Obama’s redefining of the goal in Afghanistan is a tacit admission that “Surge” ordered by Obama “has failed and we’re leaving.”
