JK oped on Visas for Afghan interpreters in danger when we leave [View all]
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-0602-kerry-afghan-withdrawal-20140603-story.htmlThis is a very strong oped that makes the case for being careful not to leave people who risked their lives for us behind.
This also is something that backs up how real the transition to leaving Afghanistan is. The likelihood is that the US will help Afghanistan's government reconcile with some elements of the Taliban - something the US tried to do last summer until Kharzi blew up any Qatar based negotiations.
All of these things make Obama's statement that we will be out in two years and are changing our role this year more real'
