The Us will keep Afganastan as a base of ops to mobilize as needed when serious al quida or other threats arise in the region-US tax payers footing the bill-no one will ever mention the soldiers in US Armed forces that have been handicapped emotionally and physically or made the ultimate sacrifice . China is there with other international companies drilling for oil and extracting other minerals-all about the resources, money. The more things 'change' the more they stay the same.
KABUL – While many Americans have been led to believe the war in Afghanistan will soon be over, a draft of a key U.S.-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 U.S. taxpayer dollars.
The document outlines what appears to be the start of a new, open-ended military commitment in Afghanistan in the name of training and continuing to fight al-Qaeda. The war in Afghanistan doesn’t seem to be ending, but renewed under new, scaled-down U.S.-Afghan terms.
Treasure in a troubled land; Russians couldn't wrangle the jihadists long enough to get the minerals.
