Endless Afghanistan? US-Afghan agreement would keep troops in place and funds flowing, perhaps indefinitely
I trust Richard Engel's reporting....
KABUL – While many Americans have been led to believe the war in Afghanistan will soon be over, a draft of a key US-Afghan security deal obtained by NBC News shows the United States is prepared to maintain military outposts in Afghanistan for many years to come, and pay to support hundreds of thousands of Afghan security forces.
The wide-ranging document, still unsigned by the United States and Afghanistan, has the potential to commit thousands of American troops to Afghanistan and spend billions of US taxpayer dollars.
I and others have been railing against our involvement in Afghanistan for years now.
What the f' is the Admin thinking?
Please, can anyone tell me how our strategic interest is served by propping up corrupt regime after corrupt regime.
We need a base to more conveniently bomb Pakistan?
WTF?
STOP THE WAR.
Leave these people to themselves in their endless misery.
Get out NOW!
