Next Phase in Afghanistan

Guardian: Reports on the next phase of the War in Afghanistan, the article notes the following on the troop level after major Western operations end, " No agreement was reached on the precise number, with estimates ranging from between 3,000 to 9,000. ".

Lets Get Real:

If the US and UK are going to do something stupid like leaving forces in Afghanistan then make sure the can defend their positions, or the Taliban and its allies will mount Tet type attacks just to make the news back in the US and the UK.    The New US Secretary of State, Senator Kerry is a Vietnam Vet and anti War protester, thus lets hope he can make sure  that the forces can protect itself, he does not need constant bad news from Kabul over the next two years.    The agreement to keep forces is due to the fact that this agreement was done by the Oval, it got a lot of heat when it left the Iraq withdrawal to VP Biden, of course Biden could not get a security agreement, thus after US and UK deaths in the Iraq War the powers had to get out, thus Iran could supply the Assad Regime in Syria, major mistake by Biden and the Oval.   This blog gives Afghanistan a year before another civil war develops and the Taliban are back in charge in Kabul and the secular Government in Pakistan comes under threat from the Pakistan Taliban.   The West could be back folks in Afghanistan, sooner than you think folks.
