   Conway: U.S. Withdrawal Deadline Boosts Taliban in Afghan War   
      
   By Nathan Hodge   
   The top U.S. Marine general in Afghanistan said President Barack Obama’s    
   announced July 2011 deadline to start withdrawing troops from the    
   country had given 'sustenance' to the Taliban.   
      
   We know the president was talking to several audiences at the same time    
   when he made his comments on July 2011,” Gen. James Conway told    
   reporters on Tuesday. “In some ways, we think right now it’s probably    
   giving our enemy sustenance….In fact, we’ve intercepted communications    
   that say, 'Hey, you know, we only have to hold out for so long.'   
      
   Conway, who recently returned from a trip to the region, said he    
   expected Marines to remain on the ground in southern Afghanistan, the    
   traditional stronghold for the Taliban, well after July 2011, though he    
   himself is set to retire in the fall.
