Well.. No.. The war isn't over. Despite very strong statements at numerous points to say we WOULD, absolutely and positively BE OUT by the end of 2014? No. We won't be. In fact, our role will be expanding.

Recent weeks? ORLY? So..like..how many other things were being cooked up very quietly before the election, anyway? This would be the time he works hard for a change. Our luck.

WASHINGTON — President Obama decided in recent weeks to authorize a more expansive mission for the military in Afghanistan in 2015 than originally planned, a move that ensures American troops will have a direct role in fighting in the war-ravaged country for at least another year.
Mr. Obama’s order allows American forces to carry out missions against the Taliban and other militant groups threatening American troops or the Afghan government, a broader mission than the president described to the public earlier this year, according to several administration, military and congressional officials with knowledge of the decision. The new authorization also allows American jets, bombers and drones to support Afghan troops on combat missions.
