This article is about a General that
Mr. Obama is appointing to take control of the war in Afghanistan.
“If confirmed by the Senate, General Dunford will preside over the
withdrawal of most of the 68,000 American troops in Afghanistan
expected by the end of 2014” (Bumiller). General Dunford was in the
war with Iraq, and Obama feels like he is the right guy for the job.
Last month the United States withdrew the last of the 33,000 “surge”
forces from Afghanistan that Mr. Obama ordered to try to bring the
war under control. With the reduction over the next two years of the
remaining 68,000 American troops, General Dunford would lead a force
that is to operate from fewer bases and will train Afghan forces to
take the lead in combat (Bumiller). Mr. Obama feels that General
Dunford will help end the war in Afghanistan cause he has been in a
war before. I believe this is a good choice at general because he has
experience in wars and their plan is to be done with the war in two
more years. If the war is finished in two years then this would be a
job well done for president Obama.
