Is Obama's Afghan Surge starting to work? Will conditions improve enough by next year to meet these conditions? Or do they have to get worse?

3. When Obama can withdraw from Afghanistan and not have Republicans say mean things about him

When that condition is fulfilled American troops will start rotating out of Afghanistan to the next counterinsurgency theater.

4. Think electoral politics and PR. Or, when the nation is completely broke.

5. Depends on what condition your condition is in...
I think your question is a hypothetical about a hypothetical... it makes my head hurt.

I'm willing to bet conditions will be directly related to campaign contributions.

7. Good catch! I wondered if anyone would pick up on that...
I have a song for everything... and everything reminds me of a song.

On the other thang... campaign contributions... of course. The almighty dollar is running, and ruining, everything.

If the love of money is the root of all evil, I must be one righteous bitch 'cuz I fucking hate money.
