Afghanistan: Barack Obama to keep 5.500 troops in the country beyond 2016 – YouTube

 In this video Luke Rudkowski covers the breaking news of Obama delaying the drawdown in Afghanistan. obama has just given a speech saying he will continue military operations in Afghanistan. You need to watch this video to understand the real reason why this is happening.

President Barack Obama will keep 5,500 US troops in Afghanistan when he leaves office in 2017, according to senior administration officials.

The decision cast aside his promise to end the war on his watch and instead ensuring he hands the conflict off to his successor.

 

Obama had originally planned to pull out all but a small, embassy-based U.S. military presence by the end of next year, a timeline coinciding with the final weeks of his presidency. But military leaders argued for months that the Afghans needed additional assistance and support from the U.S. to beat back a resurgent Taliban and hold onto gains made over the last 14 years of American bloodshed and billions of dollars in aid.
