Obama Admits US Cannot Defeat Taliban, End Violence in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Brown, 46, was caught up in an terrorist attack in Bagram, Afghanistan, that occurred on November 12.

Killed in last month’s attack were soldiers John Perry, 30, of California, and Tyler Iubelt, 20, of Illinois, along with two civilian contractors.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing, calling it revenge for US airstrikes.

In July, Obama announced that the United States would keep 8,400 US military personnel in Afghanistan until the end of his administration, despite previous plans to reduce the force level to 5,500.
