Where do those numbers come from? Obama’s not even close to that.

/Afghanistan is a harsh mistress, Obama will bail with extreme prejudice during his first term

Do the math 40,000 there now plus 17,000 for combat operations in his first plan plus the 4,000 he announced in his last speech for training means that he is already committed to 61,000. Max Boot has said the plan will take 70 to 80 thousand.
