"President Obama's speech supports my point of view that eventual withdrawal from Afghanistan should become an issue within the current parliamentary session. It is good that our allies are also of the opinion that the mission is not one without an end point.... It is important to recognize, and here we agree with the US president, that there won't be a military solution. Rather, we need a political solution that is supported by the military."
