As in Iraq, Completely Withdraw US Forces from Afghanistan

Recently, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that they had agreed on key provisions of a security arrangement that could allow some American forces in Afghanistan to remain after the NATO combat mission ends at the end of 2014. Yet no details were released on the deal, and remaining US troops’ immunity from the indigenous justice system – which also led to the scuttling of a significant residual presence of American forces in Iraq – appears to be the sticking point. Earlier this issue had seemed to be resolved and the remaining issues were Afghan demands that the United States pledge to defend Afghanistan as it would a NATO ally and an Afghan desire to prohibit US Special Operations forces from continuing raids on Afghan villages.http://original.antiwar.com/eland/2013/10/22/lets-hope-the-dialogue-in-afghanistan-for-a-continued-us-presence-goes-the-way-of-negotiations-in-iraq/#.Umf7uM_-7j4.gmail
