media attention it. by and large they think the taliban has been contained and the afghan security forces are standing up quicker than expected and that would enable u.s. combat troops to get out in 2014. >> shepard: some touted getting out too soon. according to the president last night when our agreement is up, we will have been there about 24 years and the polls suggest the vast majority of americans want us out yesterday. >> it does. latest fox news poll just in recent days suggest that something like 78% of registered voters want to see u.s. troops come home, so the president has that political pressure. but republic buck mckean, who is the chairman of the house armed services committee today said he thinks the president may be pulling folks out too quick, take a listen. >> it's a lot less than what i think we need to carry out and finish up the mission. >> but the bottom line is after more than a decade of war, this is now the longest u.s. war ever. it's unlikely u.s. troops are going to say much beyond 2014 in terms of a combat.
