Obama tells U.S. forces they can kinda sorta help more with the fight

I seriously wonder if the war in Afghanistan will still be going on in another 15 years. Or another after that. We went in on October 7, 2001 - less than a month after the Twin Towers fell and expressly because the Taliban had aided and harbored Al Qaeda in the run-up to the attacks. Even liberals who hated the Iraq War claimed to support this one because our having been attacked first made this the "good war." When Obama ran for president in 2008, he said he wanted to get out of Iraq so we could focus on winning in Afghanistan, since that's who attacked us on 9/11. Not entirely accurate, and not an especially solid rationale, but it least he seemed clear about what he wanted to do and why.
