Large footprint in Afghanistan can be counterproductive:
08:02 GMT, May 23, 2012 US President Barack Obama on Tuesday said having a large footprint in Afghanistan can be ``counterproductive'' in the long run and that it was time to pull back troops and turn attention to domestic woes, as the NATO alliance agreed on a 2014 end to the Afghan mission.
Can someone please explain to me why we are still in Afghanistan?
