Input: Huntsman criticizes Obama's Afghan plan as 'a little cautious' 
  
 By John T. Bennett - 
  
 The GOP presidential hopeful said the withdrawal should be larger and called for a new strategy in the war. 
  
 GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman on Wednesday said the 10,000-troop Afghanistan withdrawal plan President Obama will unveil should be larger, while also calling for a new strategy in the decade-old war. 
  
 Huntsman called for a larger withdrawal over the next 12 months during several morning show interviews, and said he favors a shift from the current counterinsurgency strategy to one based on counterterrorism. 
  
 “I think over the next year there’s room to draw down more … More than 10,000 over the next year,” the former Utah governor said on ABC’s "Good Morning America." 
  
 Huntsman, who worked for the Obama administration as ambassador to China and officially entered the GOP presidential race on Tuesday, called Obama’s plan “a little slow and a little cautious.” 
  
 Obama is expected to announce Wednesday night that he will remove 5,000 troops this summer from Afghanistan, and another 5,000 by the end of this year. Washington currently has about 100,000 troops in the country. 
  
 Defense experts told The Hill on Tuesday that Obama's withdrawal plan seems tailored to buy time for a counterinsurgency strategy that began to work last year after the president and his aides decided to inject what had been a flailing mission with 33,000 more American troops. 
  
 But Huntsman questioned what had been accomplished after a nearly decade-long war that took place alongside another expensive fight in Iraq. 
  
 “I think we have to see — nine years and 50 days into this conflict, the money that has been spent on both conflicts, well over $1 trillion, I think we have to say, ‘What have we accomplished in Afghanistan?’ ” he said. 
  
 Washington has spent $1.3 trillion on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars since Sept. 11, 2001, including around $400 billion in Afghanistan. 
  
 Huntsman noted that “one in every six Defense Department dollars is going to support what we are doing in Afghanistan.” 
  
 On the “Today Show,” Huntsman said what’s needed is "some nation-building here at home" as the U.S. economy continues to stumble. 
  
 On MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” Huntsman said it is time to “get real” about what can be accomplished there. 
  
 “I think what you want to be left with is a good counter-terror capability, an intelligence-collection capability, some training capability,” Huntsman said on "Good Morning America." 
  
 His preferred Afghanistan strategy puts him in line with a growing number of lawmakers who are ready to wrap up the Afghanistan conflict. 
  
 For instance, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and several other typically hawkish House Republicans are talking privately about a large drawdown and a shift toward a counterterrorism-based strategy, a GOP aide told The Hill. 
  
 Republican candidates for president, including GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, have also called for a quick withdrawal of troops. ||||| The former Massachusetts governor reacts to President Obama's war speech with a statement leaning back solidly in the hawkish direction: 
  
 “We all want our troops to come home as soon as possible, but we shouldn’t adhere to an arbitrary timetable on the withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan. This decision should not be based on politics or economics. America’s brave men and women in uniform have fought to achieve significant progress in Afghanistan, some having paid the ultimate price. I look forward to hearing the testimony of our military commanders in the days ahead.” 
  
 Romney's comments put the emphasis on staying the course in Afghanistan as long as necessary, which is a rhetorical shift — if not necessarily a huge substantive one — since the New Hampshire debate last week. There, he also said troops should come home "as soon as we possibly can," and warned in graver terms: “One lesson we‘ve learned in Afghanistan is that Americans cannot fight another nation’s war of independence.” 
  
 Jon Huntsman, on the other hand, reacted to Obama's speech by doubling down on withdrawal: "Now it is time we move to a focused counter-terror effort which requires significantly fewer boots on the ground than the President discussed tonight. We need a safe but rapid withdrawal which encourages Afghans to assume responsibility." |||||
Output:
The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan could become a major bone of contention among the GOP's 2012 hopefuls, judging by their differing responses to President Obama's speech outlining the US drawdown. Tim Pawlenty took the most hawkish position, calling the decision to bring all the surge forces home by the end of next summer a "grave mistake." "Look how he phrased the outcome of this war: He said we need to end the war 'responsibly,'" Pawlenty told Bill O'Reilly. "When America goes to war, America needs to win. We need to close out the war successfully." Mitt Romney also stressed the importance of staying the course as long as necessary, Politico reports. "We all want our troops to come home as soon as possible, but we shouldn’t adhere to an arbitrary timetable on the withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan," he said. "This decision should not be based on politics or economics" Jon Huntsman, meanwhile, said the pace of withdrawal should be faster, calling Obama's plan "a little cautious," reports the Hill. "Now it is time we move to a focused counter-terror effort which requires significantly fewer boots on the ground than the President discussed tonight," he said. "We need a safe but rapid withdrawal which encourages Afghans to assume responsibility."
