There is one over riding, primary interest.

That is a place with a large fully functioning military airfield and prepared areas for staging special ops into Iran.

The common interest is the enemy, Iran.

Good point.

Do you think Obama would actually attack Iran?

There is one primary reason that overrides the interest you present, Muslim rage.

Any attack on Iran (Or any "fundamental" Islamic country) using Afghan as a staging point will paralyze Kabul, Bagram, and the rest of the air bases. Taxpayers will be subjected to perpetually pouring $$$ into a rat hole; what a strategic disaster this will be since resources drained will be monumental in this endeavor.
