The Wink and the Not of a US Military Presence in Afghanistan

The issue was this, and I will tell you exactly what it was. We hear from a lot of the same national security officials in this country, not just Afghanistan, we are going to keep some people there. What it was is that the tulips are starlips, they said repeatedly, could not agree to an indefinite US military presence. That would undermine the very reason on that of the struggle of the 17, 18 year- To get out foreign military force. But if a new government and the United States wanted to and that government agreed with it, that's different.
