May 21st
CHICAGO: President Barack Obama and fellow NATO leaders solidified plans Monday for an “irreversible transition” in Afghanistan, affirming their commitment to ending the deeply unpopular war in 2014 and voicing confidence in the ability of Afghan forces to take the lead for securing their country even sooner. The alliance leaders, meeting for a second day of talks in Obama’s hometown, declared in a summit communique that while NATO will maintain a significant presence in Afghanistan after 2014, “this will not be a combat mission.” NATO and its partner nations formally agreed that Afghan security forces would take control of any combat next summer with NATO sliding into a support role. Obama called the transition “the next milestone” in bringing the nearly 11-year long war to a close.
