  6. Obama: Half of US combat troops home within 1 year

    WASHINGTON (AP) &mdash; President Barack Obama's decision to bring home within a year about half of the 66,000 U.S. troops now in Afghanistan will shrink the force to the size he found it when he entered the White House vowing to reinvigorate a stalemated war.
