The Taliban on Saturday warned of a prolonged war in Afghanistan if any foreign troops stay after the end of 2014, as Kabul and Washington prepare to discuss the "residual" US security presence.

President Barack Obama and President Hamid Karzai will hold talks in the US next week on a long-term security pact between the two countries, with US troops remaining in Afghanistan at the top of the agenda.

"If Karzai and the Kabul regime agree with the presence of even a single American soldier then, just as presently, they shall also be responsible for all future hostilities, casualties and destruction."

The latest media reports suggest the US Department of Defense has prepared plans that leave either 3,000, 6,000 or 9,000 troops in the country, focused on striking at Al-Qaeda militants.

How exactly is this ending the war?

1. We need to negotiate with these people

We've had enough of Bush's wars. We need to pull out of there today! It's hopeless.

2. You're trying too hard.

3. It wouldn't be but

you have to take into account that 'media reports is not necessarily a reliable source.' In other words at this point I'd put more faith in me throwing a pinch of salt over my left shoulder so that I would get laid today as this to predict what the Obama administration is going to be doing almost a year from now.
I say worry not about this today as it keeps other more important things from the power of your thinking.
