Obama: Afghan Massacre Made Him "More Determined" to Bring Troops Home
At the White House, President Obama was asked in an interview how the Afghan massacre impacts U.S. plans in Afghanistan.
President Obama: "And so, what we try to do is create a responsible pathway for an exit where by the end of 2014 we’ll have all our troops out."
Reporter: "So, this doesn’t make you more inclined to move us out faster?"
Obama: "Well, it makes me more determined to make sure that we’re getting our troops home. It’s time. It’s been a decade and frankly, now that we’ve gotten bin Laden, now that we’ve weakened al-Qaeda, we’re in a stronger position to transition than we would have been two or three years ago."
