>> security and economic guarantees

Yeah, especially those “economic” guarantees.

We ought to pull out completely and just let the extortionist have the place. We can nuke it from orbit later when it reverts to the violent moongod cesspool it’s been for about a thousand years.

Too bad Washington’s farewell address has been forgotten.

But in return, Afghanistan wants a U.S. commitment

Well this will be an interesting discussion. Who do you trust most to honor such commitments? Karzai or The One ?

CLOSE THEM!

Bush Waterboarded jehadist clowns...they gave us bin laden...

Our spooks found Bin Laden...but too late for Bush to do anything about it

the pretender decided against his own better judgement to kill bin laden.

He is DEAD

time to get out.

until the White Hut turns back to the White House, its best for the military to pull back...because with him as _resident he could use the military to destroy our true friends like Israel....

I wonder how many of these bases will be right next to an oil or gas pipeline ?

President Hamid Karzai, knows that after the Americans leave he is a dead man, it is in his personal interest to have a U.S. ground presence in Afghanistan. I just hope we don't end up with a Shah of Afghanistan.

Ask the British about leaving Afghanistan in 1842! Sometimes it is harder to get out!

It makes more sense than pulling out completely, which is what we did in Iraq.

Don't think of them as bases.

Think of them as giant American Taxpayer money funnels!

NINE bases in Afghanistan, but NOTHING in all of Iraq?

Which area is more critical to our nation strategically?
Which area cost us more in blood and treasure?

Destroyed, dispersed is the proud host of yore;
With thirteen thousand their trail they began.
Only one man returned from Afghanistan.”
