The Oval and Afghanistan

Guardian: Reports on US support for the Afghanistan Government after 2014, the article notes the following, " The Obama administration is considering a plan to maintain 352,000 Afghan troops for the next five years as part of an effort to maintain security .. ". 

Lets Get Real: 

The most important date for the Oval is 2016 folks, the Oval does not want Afghanistan to fall to the Taliban, Al Qaeda back, and the War on Terror back on the front page of the New York Times.    It would be  a disaster for the Oval should there be a major terrorist attack in 2015/16, in 2012 Obama stated that Al Qaeda was dead while the US Car industry was still alive, after a US Government bailout.   If Al Qaeda is back in 2016 the US car industry is being made in China the Democrats will have a problem with their message.   As Afghanistan has shown for the British Empire and the USSR powers never end well in Afghanistan, thus one can expect that Afghanistan will fall in to another Civil War, then Al Qaeda and Taliban will return their home.   This will place pressure on Pakistan and in 2015/16 there will be another Crisis in Afghanistan.   The nickname for Afghanistan is the Graveyard of Empires, that story never ends folks,no matter the man in the Oval.
