Enough is enough!


Despite the actual failure of the military mission in Afghanistan, there are still some rat bastards in the power structure who want to continue a presence in there.
American and allied military planners are drawing up the broad outlines of a force that would remain in Afghanistan following the handover to Afghan security after 2014, including a small counterterrorism force with an eye toward Al Qaeda, senior officials say.

Under the emerging plan, the American counterterrorism force might number less than 1,000, one military official said. In a parallel effort, NATO forces would advise Afghan forces at major regional military and police headquarters but most likely have a minimal battlefield role, with the exception of some special operations advisers.

Final decisions on the size of the American and NATO presence after 2014 and its precise configuration have not been made by the United States or its allies. But one option calls for about 10,000 American and several thousand non-American NATO troops.
Once again, as in Iraq, some damn SOB wants to leave a bait force behind to provide a reason to return when they are attacked and decimated. And aren't the military's best just lining up to volunteer for that duty.
