Violent Uproar in Afghanistan Casts Shadow on U.S. Pullout

American offcials made it clear that they are still committed to the war after the killing of two American military officers over the weekend. Not only are they still committed because of that but also the days of anti-American protests going on. Based on this article it sounds as though the high officials of the Obama administration and the Pentagon officials are very unsure about how to pullout troops from Afghanistan and if it is the right move. They are worried about the training and mentoring of the police forces in Afghanistan and if there has been enough. They do not know if there has been enough because many of them are still unreliable officers in Afghanistan. The attacks by the police forces on American military and NATO forces has only reinforced the government's beliefs that they are not ready to pullout. An official was stated as saying that the unrest might "complicate but was unlikely to" actually alter the overall plan of pulling out troops.
