So basically you have Obama wanting to reduce troops and the general in charge saying much less reduction. Which of these is political and which is strategic? Which approach is better for the US (political or strategic)?

First, I would like to say that generals are very political. That's why they are generals.

I think we should pull out of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya and stop interfering in every stupid event that happens around the world. If the people of one country want to kill each other then they can go ahead. It is not our job to police up their actions. The Taliban were not the ones who attacked us. They are a fairly radical Islamic group that were concerned with their own country. They did give harbor to Al-Qaida but I'm sure they regret that and will probably put the kabosh on that type of activity in the future.
