This is just so wrong on every level
Just like in Europe, the US government has signed an agreement to stay in Shitholistan "after the war is over". According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, a British paper because we have no journalists in this country, the US is about to sign an agreement with Afghanistan to allow us to stay until 2024. At which time the agreement will be renewed endlessly or at least until the Karzais have stolen so much aid they can't steal anymore.
The agreement would allow not only military trainers to stay to build up the Afghan army and police, but also American special forces soldiers and air power to remain.Sure we will continue to waste $Billions and get more Americans killed (what you thought the Taliban will buy into this) but we will maintain a perfectly useless military presence smack dab in the middle of those folks we like so much, the Pakis and Iranis and the Chinees. No doubt this will pressure the Iraqi to cut a similar deal.
The prospect of such a deal has already been met with anger among Afghanistan’s neighbours including, publicly, Iran and, privately, Pakistan.
It also risks being rejected by the Taliban and derailing any attempt to coax them to the negotiating table, according to one senior member of Hamid Karzai’s peace council.
A withdrawal of American troops has already begun following an agreement to hand over security for the country to Kabul by the end of 2014.
But Afghans wary of being abandoned are keen to lock America into a longer partnership after the deadline. Many analysts also believe the American military would like to retain a presence close to Pakistan, Iran and China.
