The question is:

What kind and how much support? Or, indeed, pull out completely. The later is not a viable option. SPF2245, that's one possible solution, a small contingent to monitor and strike when appropriate. Not unlike Bidens idea of using the drones more, the troops less.

Like Iraq, the Afghans will eventually need to defend themselves. When that time comes and the troops begin to withdraw en masse I'm sure there will be plenty of Scotch drinking Afghans woefully sad at their departure.
