Obama: 'We can absorb a terrorist attack'

Obama repeatedly pressing his top military advisers for an exit plan that they never gave him he urgently looked for a way out of the war in Afghanistan last year.

Frustrated with his military commanders for consistently offering only options that required significantly more troops to win the war, Obama finally crafted his own strategy, dictating a classified six-page "terms sheet" that sought to limit U.S. involvement, journalist Bob Woodward reports in his "Obama's Wars," to be released Monday.
