BBC News: Reports " The new Afghan government has signed a security deal with American officials that will allow US troops to remain in the country beyond this year. "
Lets Get Real:
On the one hand this a good deal, it keeps a US presence in Afghanistan should the Taliban and Al Qaeda try to move on the Capital of Kabul. On the other its a major mistake by the US and its allies, the Taliban and Al Qaeda will not step up their attacks on Western forces, they need the constant PR that they are fighting another invader. The US Force is so small that should the Taliban go for a major offensive the Pentagon will have to send in extra troops. At the least the UK is OUT, the UK done Afghanistan to many times, we have tried it all, in the end the UK left and kept Imperial Planes in NOW Pakistan to bomb suspected threats, the grandfather of drones. Once all Western Forces leave the natives will be back to having their civil war, Afghanistan is about endless repeats of history.
