[Proud Tiger 4,261]

Looks like there WILL BE boots on the ground in Afghanistan........9800 of them. Has Obama learned a lesson? Watch the whole video and you decide.

I guess you must have your usual inside info because it was just reported that that the security agreement (or whatever the legal name is) was just agreed to by the new Afghan Pres. Obama has repeatedly said he would withdraw ALL troops.

I guess you are being sarcastic but it's been open source information for quite some time including the plan to withdraw all troops by the end of 2016.

If that's the case why was is it receiving so much attention in the news this morning?

Perhaps it means all troops won't be out by the end of 2016 after all?

P.S-----I for sure don't have a corner on sarcasm.

But you sure do seem to resort to it instinctively.
