Asif Ali Zardari is the currently the president of Pakistan. Pakistan has been cooperating with the United States in an effort to stop terrorism in Afghanistan. Pakistan has many social and economic ties to Afghanistan which makes Pakistan's leader a credible opinion on the War in Afghanistan.

As the leader of Pakistan, Zardari supports America's involvement in the in Afghanistan. They often work side by side and the by doing so, they even found and killed Osama bin Laden. Zardari said "'Pakistan had as much reason to despise al Qaeda as any nation. The war on terrorism is as much Pakistan's war as it is America's'" (CNN). Zardari takes an extremely strong stance against terror and respects the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with the United States during the war. He even has a personal connection to the effects of terrorism, since the death of his "late wife, Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistani politician who was assassinated in 2007" (CNN).

If Asif Ali Zardari were to answer the question "When should the United Sates leave Afghanistan?" he would probably give support to the United States as a respected ally. Zardari would want a safe a gradual exit from the nation as Obama currently intends, as to make sure there is enough stability in the country that those in Pakistan and even Afghanistan feel more secure. Ultimately the United States will need the support of Pakistan to successfully exit Afghanistan.
