[First US troops leave Afghanistan as drawdown begins ]
KABUL: The first group of about 10,000 US soldiers, due to leave Afghanistan this year, have already left, military officials said Friday, kicking off a gradual drawdown due to be completed in 2014.

US President Barack Obama in June announced that 33,000 American troops would leave Afghanistan by the end of next summer, leaving behind 65,000 and effectively ending a military ordered into the country late 2009.

Around 650 US army troops deployed northwest of the capital in the province of Parwan, flew out on Wednesday and will not be replaced by an incoming unit, the US military confirmed Friday.

"It's correct that these soldiers are the first to redeploy from Afghanistan without being replaced by a new rotation of soldiers since the president's announcement," said US army press officer, Major Michael Wunn. US officers have said that a total of about 800 soldiers in two Army units will depart this month.

I do fear for the life of Mr. Hamid Karzai -- at the funeral of his half brother, the Afghan president called for peace with the Talib, but some are opposed to this and the Afghan president's life is in danger.

Hate to say it, but Karzai seems to have little respect in a lot of Afghanistan.

There was no foreign ( read western/american) soldiers when 9/11 occured.............there was none when reports of extremists torturing women came before 9/11

Cause of extremistism is some thing else

Plz explain holding 75% of aghanistan!!!!!......r u saying that afgan army , US army and nato r present in only 25% of afghanistan?????

Afghan president's brother is killed...........certainly President is more important than his relatives....................and anyone can be killed may it be Indira gandhi or Governor of Pakistani Punjab or Bhutto

Number of Taliban's foot soldiers 200% since 2001............i think not foot soldiers it must suicide bombers brainwashed by extremists.........btw what will foot do when head is taken out??

USA is still largest economy of the world........spending 5 trillion for a body means they dont forget.......they will hunt down.....even from hell......no matter what it takes

US citizens cant move freely in 75% of world country.......i would like to see ur source for this!!!!!!

Well taliban can keep waiting to recontrol afghanistan..........its not gonna happen like last time........this time most of the world is with Afghanistan's struggle against terrorism
