Swedes To Leave Afghanistan

Obama's war in Afghanistan is being deserted by the rest of the world. Swedish troops will leave Afghanistan next year.

A Red-Green government would begin the withdrawal of Swedish troops from Afghanistan in July 2011, with the last soldiers home by the 2013, the three party opposition coalition announced on Friday.

"Our strategy is completely consistent with the international strategy for a successive withdrawal," said Social Democrat leader Mona Sahlin at a Friday press conference.
