“Hopefully by mid to the latter part of 2013 we’ll be able to make a transition from a combat role to a training, advise and assist role,” Panetta said. His comment, while en route to Brussels for a NATO meeting, was confirmed to CNN by a defense official.
That comment can be taken many ways - and I would expect that the transition will be a gradual one.I'm Chuck Norris, and I approve these detainee handling techniques...

Repeat this: Ending combat missions does not equal pulling out.
And saying it again, just to absorb the "fact."
