American and Afghan officials announced on Sunday that they both endorsed a final draft of the strategic partnership agreement that will outline the US commitment here for at least a decade after the 2014 deadline to transition all security to local forces. ...
The details of the agreement have yet to be released, but it represents an important commitment for Afghans who have expressed concern that the US will drop support after their withdrawal, as happened after the Soviet war here.
Or what happened after 2011 in Iraq. I guess Iraqis didn't have any concerns about our loss of support against internal fissures and external pressure.
Tell me again that President Obama tried hard to get a similar agreement with the Iraqi government.
NOTE: And now scheduled postings aren't working.
