State Department official: Negotiations to extend U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan starting soon

thecable.foreignpolicy.com...

Last week, U.S. and Afghan negotiators met in Kabul to talk about the Bilateral Security Agreement that will govern the extension of U.S. troops past 2014, when President Barack Obama said the combat mission in Afghanistan will end and the U.S. will complete the transition of the entire country to Afghan government control.

Not surprised, but majorly disappointed.

Biden is either kept out of the loop or lied again as he stated at the debate: ""We are leaving in 2014, period, and in the process, we're going to be saving over the next 10 years another $800 billion." What a talking point all the $ we are going to save. Who gives a damn about the soldiers?

Anyway, In May Obama signed an agreement with the Afghan President "for ongoing U.S. commitment to Afghanistan through 2024." # Obama

Again we are seeing major discrepancies within the Executive branch.

One says something.....

Another says the opposite.

The confusion and crisis generating is all part of the plan.

Can somebody explain their logic ?

Get the lie out - knowing most of the people who watched the dabate are not going to get the truth until after the elections.
