The most important is, of course, the first question.
Never got an answer from President Bush and still have not gotten an answer from President Obama on this.  |
I know I'll get flamed for this but the answer to Q1 is simple: The objective of the conflict in AF is to make the American people feel like they are doing something in response to the threat of terrorism.
The corresponding answers after that are:
By the Presidential popularity ratings.
When the US people realise there ain't much point being there any more and kick up enough fuss for the President to pull the troops out.
