Election tactics behind withdrawal

The US and France have announced plans to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan earlier than planned. The decision is above all based on election tactics, writes the liberal-conservative daily Financial Times: "President Barack Obama's solution to leave troops there, just not in combat roles, until 2014 is also something of an insurance policy if Afghanistan descends into chaos. But the timing of the US and French withdrawals from combat is less than ideal. It is no coincidence that the retreat comes as presidential elections loom in both countries. In France, the death of four French soldiers last week has made the war a hot campaign issue, while in the US Mr Obama has been under heavy pressure for more troop cuts. Political considerations are finally taking centre stage in the conflict. The tragedy is that they have little to do with stability in Afghanistan."
