Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said NATO and U.S. forces would hand over responsibility for securing the country to the Afghan security forces "as rapidly as conditions allow." Obama said if conditions are right, U.S. troops could begin leaving Afghanistan in 18 months. (AP Photo/Musadeq Sadeq) (Associated Press)

Lakewood Police chief Bret Farrer frowns as he listens to a news briefing with Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County sheriff, and Lakewood police officers near where a man suspected of gunning down four police officers earlier in the week was shot and killed by a lone Seattle patrol officer Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009, in Seattle. Four other people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt. A Seattle police officer came across the stolen car in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood about 2:45 a.m., Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said. The officer approached the car, then detected movement behind him, recognized the suspect Maurice Clemmons and ordered him to show his hands and stop. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) (Elaine Thompson)
