The USA doesn't dare withdraw from Afghanistan - - we're making too much money off this deal.  That's my take and I refuse to back down because EVERYTHING in America is always about money.  We don't have it, but we spend it as if we do - - - and then we just step aside and print more money.  I guess that makes sense to someone but it makes no sense to me, never has.
