Maintaining that the US cannot be expected to be inside Afghanistan forever, the White House on Friday said the Afghan plan, likely to be announced by President Barack Obama would include an exit strategy.
"The President believes that we have been there for eight years, and we're not going to be there forever. And it's important to fully examine not just how we're going to get folks in but how we are going to get folks out," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters abroad Air Force One travelling with Obama on his way to Alaska.
Gibbs said the US Embassy in Kabul is working on agreements with the Afghan government.
"I think it's sufficient to say that whether on the civilian side of our effort, whether on the military side of our effort, or on the governance side of the Afghans, the President has asked for and will want benchmarks to evaluate our progress. That's part of his desire to get a sense of where we are rather than committing to an open-ended conflict," he said.
