I got 11 out of 12. I said there was closer to 20k troops in Afghan. Not 70K. What I can find is that there is 38k in afghan. which is closer to 20K than 70k President Barack Obama this year ordered 21,000 new troops to the Central Asian country to bolster the record 38,000 already there. Taliban and other militants have made a violent comeback the last three years after what appeared to be an initial defeat following the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan that came after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
