security to hamid karzai and the specific road map for troops to come home from the more than decade long war. >> last year, we removed 10,000 u.s. troops from afghanistan. another 23,000 will leave by the end of summer. after that, reductions will continue at a steady pace with more and more of our troops coming home. as our coalition agreed, by the end of 2014 the afghans will be fully responsible for the security of their country. >> the trip fell on the one-year anniversary of the day that the president ordered navy s.e.a.l.s to take out osama bin laden. >> over the last three ye...
