U.S. Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has predicted that American troops, already in Afghanistan for 18 years, would remain in the country “for several more years.”
In an ABC interview broadcast on November 10, Milley noted that, after the September 11 attacks in 2001, the original reason U.S. forces went into Afghanistan was to make sure that the country never again would be a haven for extremists who would attack the United States.
“That mission is not yet complete,” the general said. “In order for that mission to be successful the government of Afghanistan, the Afghan security forces, are going to have to be able to sustain their own internal security to prevent terrorists using their territory to attack other countries, especially the United States.”
There are some 14,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, as well as thousands of European forces participating in the NATO-led Resolute Support mission.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said it is time for the United States to pull back from its role in various conflicts around the globe, including in Syria.
Milley said U.S. troops will remain in the Middle Eastern country “for a significant amount of time because it’s in our national interest to be there to help out.”
The general said he expected American troop levels in Syria to stabilize at around 500, insisting that pressure must be maintained on fighters of the Islamic State (IS) extremist group.
“There will be less than 1,000 [U.S. troops], for sure,” Milley told ABC. “Probably in the 500ish frame, maybe six.”
There are currently several hundred U.S. troops in Syria.
Trump has recently approved an expanded military mission to secure oil fields in Syria’s east, after announcing a complete withdrawal from the country.

*Just;
get out
of
Afghanistan; so, people be able
to
go back
to
their own country,
===
==
=
GET OUT- enough
of
*your
savageries and atrocities !!!!!
•
Yes Baghlani, the Ameerikeen s need to get out, so you can continue your Taliban bacha bazi filthy behavior. When you learn how to use toilet paper, then you can have an opinion. Oh yes, go watch tv shows showing how people from civilized countries live. You won’t see any mud huts, trash piled in the streets or people wiping their rear with their bare hand. And bring home some nan bread, love..your mom.
*See what I am talking
about; this above
spoiler
is
a
prime example
of
rapists and murderers;
((please; read his comments)), who
are
actively roaming
all over
the
country and harassing
innocent folks- you let
those types
of
international
perverts ; contractors and similar soldiers
of
fortunes,
((from all over the world)),
in
an order
to
maintain your
global
military and economic clouts
intact !
=====
===
=
HOW COULD
IT
BE
POSSIBLE
FOR
THE LOCALS
TO
HELP YOU ?????
•
This
mental case, with a fake Islamic name, is not from Afghanistan- this little man is paid
to
insult and disrupt !
•
*Let people;
build
up
theirs own,
lives and country- mind
your own business, man !
==================
==================
The people
of
Afghanistan
have nothing
to
do with your personal concerns- just,
let them have their
own choice
of
a
civilized
governing body !
•
*YOU GUYS;
MAKE
NO
SENSE !!!!!
•
In my previous comments; I proved that you will never succeed in Afghanistan, even partially.
.
The territorial integrity
of
Afghanistan
have had had been already compromised,
((several times over the last two hundred years)),
to
its limit by the international invaders
===
==
=
My advice to you is pick your
best option before
it
discredit you all globally- it is going to reach its 30 years milestone soon.
.
Regular
good folks
in
America
are getting increasing frustrated with lack
of
clear visionary focus
in
quagmire
of
Afghanistan which would
be impossible for you guys
to
attain
at this stage. Sooner or later you will
be
overwhelmed from public outcries
for
using their
huge tax money uselessly for the
livelihood
of
only
a
few proven
“thugs and thug-mars”.
•
I am sorry;
I mean
to
say :
=================
…its
20th years’
milestone.
•
Billions and billions
of
people are residing in
the
neighborhood where
many
countries are meddling beyond control.
===
==
=
It is already
drowned
in
its own complexity, beyond
any one’s ability- it
will definitely
get worse.
•
Top it off:
=======
The involved
countries;
are all
super greedy and have turned
parasitic beyond control- it
is, now, a matter
a severe case
of
addiction !
>>>>>>>>>
((like opportunistic India’s move
in
Kashmir; in lights of the fresh developments
in
Afghanistan ))
===
==
=
*YOU CAN’T FIX THAT, PERIOD !
•
*HERE IS MY SUGGESTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
believe; you could
gain
a
“PEACEFUL APPROVAL”
of
roughly
%99
of
the
population
of
Afghanistan, if you you could
sincerely
strike
a
comprehensive deal with
the
three most
fundamental Islamic segments
that comprise
the
general power base
inside
all of Afghanistan.
=============
WE
ALL
KNOW, BY NOW, WHETHER
WHO THEY
ARE .
=============
=======
===
*Yes; the legitimate
share
of
power
by
those
overlapping religious segments
inside
Afghanistan.
….,,,,…………………………………..
1- JAMIATI-ISLAMI
.
2- HEZBI-ISLAMI
.
3- TALIBAN AND ALL RANKING
LEADING RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES
((COMPRISED OF ALL OF
ISLAMIC SCHOOLS
FROM
EACH VILLAGE ACROSS AFGHANISTAN ))
.
================
((IRREGARDLESS OF THEIR DENOMINATIONAL AFFILIATIONS”)),
.
those religious leaders
will
be
basically representing
all of
the
“village mosques”
across
all
of
the provinces
of
Afghanistan.
•
*YES; ((the ideal))
ALL
EQUAL
VOICES
FOR ALL OF
OUR HONORABLE
ISLAMIC LEADERS,
((from every mosque))
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
•
TO
THE *ENEMIES
OF
THE GREAT
*PEOPLE
OF
*AFGHANISTAN :
==========================
=============•============
BEWARE !!!!!
~~~~~~~~~
THE ABOVE; THREE
POWER BASES
OF
AFGHANISTAN
ARE,
IN
ESSENCE ,
FUNCTIONAL AND INTERACTING
AS
ONE
*SOLID UNIT
((NOW; THAT IS THE FACT !)).
•
*RESPECT AND *PEACE
IS
THE ONLY ANSWER !
•
*WE ALL
MUST
RESPECT
YOUNG, OLD AND THE CHILDREN
OF
THE GROUND WE ARE
WALKING
ON
=================
NOW;
THAT
IS
HONORABLE AND EASILY
NOTICEABLE
AS WELL !!!!!
•
THST MEAN:
=========
~~~~~~~~~
*WE ALL; MUST RESPECT
ALL
THE PEOPLE
AND
EVERY WHERE; THAT
IS
SET !!!!!
•
*YOU ARE
“NO BODY”; GENERAL !
