10,000 US troops will be remaining in Afghanistan through the end of this year, clearly no drawdown will take place as earlier promised

President Obama said this is not a return to combat..
He also said that he will bring troops home by the end of 2016..

The troops were slated to leave Afghanistan very soon, but now that Afghan president asked for troops to stay longer, the United States has agreed.. 

The war goes on. We just stopped it war.
