The agreement would allow not only military trainers to stay to build up the Afghan army and police, but also American special forces soldiers and air power to remain.
The prospect of such a deal has already been met with anger among Afghanistan’s neighbours including, publicly, Iran and, privately, Pakistan.
It also risks being rejected by the Taliban and derailing any attempt to coax them to the negotiating table, according to one senior member of Hamid Karzai’s peace council.
A withdrawal of American troops has already begun following an agreement to hand over security for the country to Kabul by the end of 2014.

I think this is a great idea. Look at it this wy. Not only will our troops have a better chance of eliminating the 100 Taliban who remain in Afghanistain but the US drug trade will be flourishing. What a wonderful way to raise the national debt to new hieghts.
