Our good war turns bad

The zero option should be a zero brainer.
The war in Afghanistan has already cost us about half a trillion dollars. More than 2,000 members of the American military have been killed and more than 19,000 wounded. Thousands of civilians have also been killed.
The zero option is a plan to leave zero U.S. troops in Afghanistan after December 2014.
The other option, which has never been named, could be called the “let’s break our promise to the American people and keep 10,000-16,000 troops in Afghanistan until at least 2024 at a cost of $80 billion or so” option.
One would think the Obama administration would favor the zero option.
