U.S. Is Open to Withdraw Afghan Force After 2014


things worst shape than it seems .. things unfodling rapidly

Obama administration said Tuesday that it was open to a so-called zero option that would involve leaving no American troops in Afghanistan after 2014, when the NATO combat mission there comes to an end

Afganistan did to America what it did to USSR

. . deputy national security adviser, Benjamin J. Rhodes, said that leaving no troops “would be an option that we would consider,” adding that “the president does not view these negotiations as having a goal of keeping U.S. troops in Afghanistan.”
“This lack of public and transparent plans and reporting makes it impossible to determine whether there is a real transition plan or a disguised exit strategy,”

Afghanistan Orders US Special Forces Out of Province After Reports of Torture and Murder

The government of Afghanistan has banned elite American forces from operating in the province of Maidan Wardak, claiming that Afghans working with US special forces have been involved with the torture and killing of villagers in the area. The province, which is adjacent to the Afghan capital of Kabul, has been a strategic buffer against the Taliban and key to the defense of the capital.

US officials were told on Sunday afternoon of the Afghan government's decision, which it reached after trying to get answers from the US about the torture and killing accusations. Afghan defense officials provided the US with photographs and video of the alleged perpetrators, but did not receive any immediate response or action from US forces.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office released a statement saying that during a meeting of Afghanistan's National Security Council, "It became clear that armed individuals named as U.S. special force stationed in Wardak province engage in harassing, annoying, torturing and even murdering innocent people."

NATO apologises for killing two Afghan boys

ISAF commander describes shooting of children, both under 10, as case of "mistaken identity" during fight with Taliban.

NATO has said its forces accidentally shot dead two Afghan boys in the latest of a series of reports of civilian deaths at the hands of international troops.

The two boys were shot dead when they were mistaken for fighters during an operation in northwest Uruzgan on Thursday, US General Joseph Dunford, the commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said in a statement on Saturday.

"I offer my personal apology and condolences to the family of the boys who were killed," Dunford said.

The shooting in the southern province of Uruzgan could further strain the relationship between ISAF and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has demanded US special forces leave another province over allegations of torture.
