Afghan President Hamid Karzai, claimed he doesn't believe the Taliban will return, but US intelligence reports that the Taliban is stronger than ever. Since the peak of 100,000 deployed soldiers last year, there have been reports of more aggressive and frequent attacks by insurgents in Afghanistan. Republicans criticize Obama's set deadline to have all troops out of Afghanistan by 2014. If congress cannot prove that the war effort is worthwhile, a recent bill will be passed cutting 60% of military funding. Whether this will make conditions in Afghanistan and the Middle East better or worse is yet to be seen.
