It seems like the agreement will keep U.S presence in Afghanistan until 2024.
The Agreement appears to be multi-phase.
Phase 1: 2015-2017
Phase 2:22017-2024

I am not sure it was the wisest thing for Obama Administration to commit two future administrations to Afghanistan in such a fashion.

That would be only one future administration....No..You're right. Two.

In any case, it's a disastrous agreement.

LOL...I don't think that they like the opium fields as that all works out in the free market...er the "black market". They can only steal from the black market when they counterfeit more toilet paper.
