BIDEN: “That’s why, with 49 of our allies in Afghanistan, we’ve agreed on a gradual drawdown so we’re out of there by the year — in the year 2014. My friend and the governor say it’s based on conditions, which means it depends. It does not depend for us. It is the responsibility of the Afghans to take care of their own security. We have trained over 315,000, mostly without incident. There have been more than two dozen cases of green on blue where Americans have been killed. If we do — if the — if the measures the military has taken do not take hold, we will not go on joint patrols, we will not train in the field. We’ll only train in the — in the Army bases that exist there. But we are leaving. We are leaving in 2014, period.”
