I vote for zero. One World!!! Meantime, an internal email reveals the Pentagons thinking on the options for the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Bloombergs Roxana Tiron: The Defense Department will prepare three scenarios for war funding next year depending on how many U.S. troops, if any, will remain in Afghanistan, according to an internal Pentagon e-mail obtained yesterday by Bloomberg News. One estimate would take into account 10,000 U.S. troops stationed in the country, another would presume 5,000, and another would imply zero presence as of Jan. 1, 2015, according to the official-use-only e-mail. The Pentagon earlier this year sent Congress a placeholder request of $79.4 billion for war operations in fiscal 2015, which begins Oct. 1. That request didnt include specifics. The Defense Department is developing the three more detailed war-funding budget estimates to present to the White House, according to the e-mail. - Foreign Policy
