Turkey Securing Kabul Airport After US Withdrawal? Nothing Confirmed. Negotiations Continue. US Withdrawing?
Funny how some of the usual suspects were claiming this was a done deal as much as a week ago?
*Reality being, ah, real, the US is NOT withdrawing from Afghanistan.
* Second there is no deal regarding the securing of Kabul airport only continuing discussions
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said negotiations ongoing
“There must be some political decisions at the United Nations and NATO, and an agreement must be reached with the Afghan government,” Akar said, after stating that Turkey was discussing plans on the issue with several countries.
"No final decision has yet been made on the post-September arrangement, although Turkey is continuing negotiations with the U.S.," he said.
“There must be some political decisions at the United Nations and NATO, and an agreement must be reached with the Afghan government,” he said, adding that Turkey was seeking political, financial and logistical support from various countries.
He emphasized that a final decision had not yet been reached, but negotiations with the United States were continuing and the plan would be executed after the Turkish president’s approval.
But, but, the Loon of Alabama said this was a done deal and it was all okayed by the President???
Troops withdrawing? Depends how one interprets 'withdrawal'
The US May have left the Bagram base, but operations will not cease. They will continue from other locations

Not leaving, just relocating:
Air support for the Afghan forces will be flown in from outside the country, from bases in Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, or from an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, in missions known colloquially as “over the horizon.”
"what is left of the American forces in the country remain in Kabul."
After General Miller leaves in the next several days, his authorities to carry out airstrikes against Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, and, in very limited circumstances, against the Taliban, will be assumed by Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., the head of the military’s Central Command.
Rear Adm. Peter G. Vasely, a former member of SEAL Team 6, will be in charge of the security mission at the United States Embassy in Kabul, and will report to General McKenzie. Admiral Vasely, who is already in Kabul for the transition, will command the American troops that will be largely based at the embassy and remain there indefinitely.
So the troops are moving to Kabul. Airstrikes will continue from different locations. And at least 300 additional troops will be placed in Kabul in the near future.
General McKenzie will also be authorized to keep about 300 additional troops in Afghanistan, if needed for security, Pentagon officials said.Recall?
Could there be more to this then meets the eye? I’ll highlight why Italy was in the UAE. And ask the question .. Are changes afoot? Or will this move actually enable the occupation of Afghanistan to continue?
Were Italian troops asked to leave to make room for the Americans and enable their continued occupation of Afghanistan?
