Obama to keep troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016

Obama to keep troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016

http://www.fayobserver.com/news/nati...f20a87bd6.html

Don't look for Code Pink to have any protests outside the White House.

Wouldn't a full fledged Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) do a bit to curb Taliban influence?
