President Nobel Peace Prize commits to war in Afghanistan through 2024, and later

Anyone here remember a guy who ran for president and promised to get us out of Afghanistan? You know, something about undoing all the damage wrought by that evil warmonger Bush? It was in all the papers.

Anyway, yesterday President Dronekiller released the specifics of his new security agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and darn if it doesn't keep U.S. troops in harm's way until after 2024.

You read that right, Two Thousand Twenty Four.

If a draft agreement between the Obama administration and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan is finalized, U.S. troops will remain in that country indefinitely — instead of being withdrawn at the end of 2014, as the administration has said.

This is a confession of failure. America's longest war is nowhere near its end.

The draft agreement (PDF) dated July 25, 2013, which was obtained by Richard Engel of NBC News, states,

This Agreement shall enter into force on January 1, 2015.… It shall remain in force until the end of 2024 and beyond, unless terminated pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article [requiring two years written notice]. [Emphasis added.]

Under the proposed agreement, the U.S. government would continue to train, arm, and assist the Afghan military. "In addition," the unsigned document continues, "the Parties acknowledge that continued U.S. military operations to defeat al-Qaeda and its affiliates may be appropriate and agree to continue their close cooperation and coordination toward that end."

Oh, and we (ie, the taxpayers) get to keep picking up the tab for the Afghan army too. Because otherwise they might start to hate us, or something.

The only conclusion I can make is, that Obama fellow really likes war. Well, except when he has to use it to protect Americans.

Curiously though, all those anti-war demonstrators who came out against Bush aren't protesting Obama's endless wars. I'm sure there's a rational explanation for that. Oh, right, they're just a bunch of partisan tools.

Barack Obama, the first guy to adorn himself with a Nobel Peace Prize while perpetually waging war. Yes Toto, we definitely aren't in Kansas anymore.
