Chancellor Angela Merkel wants German troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2016, fearing Afghan security forces will not be ready to take over by then, according to a report on Sunday.
News weekly Der Spiegel reported that Merkel told a parliamentary committee that she doubted the Afghan army and police would be ready to take over by the time the final German troops are slated to withdraw.
She said the complete withdrawal in 2011 of US troops from Iraq, which is now engulfed in Islamist violence, served as a cautionary tale and wanted to talk to Washington about an extension of the mission beyond 2016, according to a Spiegel source. […]
The US force will be halved by the end of next year, before being reduced to a normal embassy protection presence by the end of 2016. …

I guess one world leader is drawing some parallels between Iraq and ISIS and Afghanistan and (Taliban, Al Qada, whatever other nutjob Islamo fascists group pops up in two years)
I say we pull out, deny visas, and seal all these animals in with each other. If every country adopted this viewpoint, we could just let them rape, behead, and kill eachother, and let Allah sort it out..
They wouldn’t do that, because in that case you are giving them a de-facto Caliphate.
Why would “every country” side against them and with us (including Israel and anything presently or formerly British) anyway? Certainly that isn’t the POV of the European Union (the wannabe “third power”), Russia or Red China or anyone else who wants to ally with them.
Why would any country risk having these animals in THEIR countries? Let these savages kill eachother and make it clear that no trade, diplomatic ties, or anything else will occur until the savages have all been wiped out. Then, make their global inclusion contingent upon joining the 21st century. That’s how it should be, but we will continue to PC ourselves into a global epidemic, or a bloodthirsty caliphate..
It is not their intent to “kill each other”. Islam is expansionist, not just nihilistic.
The EU, Red China, Russia and like-minded nations help the Islamists because of their own animus against the USA, Britain and Israel.
This is the twenty-first century, when peace dies once more; its defining characteristic. But peace yet may rise again.
Uh, Sunnis and Shias are worse than the Catholics and Protestants ever were. I have had it. Seal them off and let them drink each others blood. They are savages..
