An interestingly timed information release by the Hillary Clinton State Department tips the media off to ongoing negotiations between the United States and Afghanistan to extend the stay of American military well beyond the often repeated 2014 deadline. Just last week Vice President Joe Biden repeated the 2014 promise during a debate against opponent Congressman Paul Ryan that U.S. troops were to be out of Afghanistan by 2014. Now just a week later, the State Department directly contradicts Biden’s comments.
EXCERPT:
Despite statements by Vice President Joe Biden, the State Department is about to begin formal negotiations over the extension of U.S. troops past 2014, a top State Department official said Tuesday.
Last week, U.S. and Afghan negotiators met in Kabul to talk about the Bilateral Security Agreement that will govern the extension of U.S. troops past 2014, when President Barack Obama said the combat mission in Afghanistan will end and the U.S. will complete the transition of the entire country to Afghan government control.
