The Obama Administration wants to get out of Afghanistan.
President Hamid Karzal wants to live after US troops Leave.
Iran wants to Take Over Iraq Politically after US Withdraws.
Everyone knows the Taliban will take over after US Departs,
And 10 Islamic Horns won’t have US Troops to Bother Them,
WHEN Daniel’s 11:40 Conventional Middle East WAR Begins
On Lebanese Border at SOME Time PRIOR to the Year 2015!
It Will Occur After US Forces Exit From Iraq and Afghanistan!

Ahmadinejad’s primary reason for his many trips to the countries north of Israel’s border and south of the Black Sea, has been to weave together those countries for an eventual pre-planned united Jihad counterattack against Israel.
The plan will entail luring Israel to push north into Lebanon into a pre-planned trap where the IDF will be cut off and encircled by a pincer action on their rear echelon.
Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries,
and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown:
The prophesied military action in Daniel 11:40,41 will not take place until American ground forces have withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan. Radical Islamic Jihad forces have no desired to start a major war with sizeable American forces on the Syrian and Iranian borders.

US backs Afghan reconciliation bid
October 14, 2010
Defence secretary says US will do “whatever it takes” to support Hamid Karzai’s attempt to win over Taliban elements.
The United States and the Nato have vowed to support efforts by Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, to reconcile with elements of the Taliban.
Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, on Thursday said the US will do “whatever it takes” to support Karzai’s bid while Anders Fogh-Rasmussen, the Nato secretary-general, said the Western alliance is willing to provide “practical assistance” for such efforts.
“We have always acknowledged that reconciliation has to be part of the solution in Afghanistan and we will do whatever we can to support this process,” Gates told a news conference at the Nato headquarters in Brussels, the Belgian capital.
Speaking earlier in the day, Fogh-Rasmussen said the alliance was ready to help facilitate reconciliation talks, but did not confirm that such assistance was taking place.
“Our position is that if we can facilitate this process though practical assistance, then why not? If we get a request, then we are prepared to do that,” he said.
A senior Nato official earlier told reporters that Nato-led forces were already facilitating contacts between senior Taliban
officials and the Afghan government, including allowing them safe passage for talks in Kabul.
Face-to-face talks
Karzai, who is keen on reconciliation with Taliban and other allied groups, has set up a peace council to facilititate the talks.
He told Al Jazeera’s Frost over the World programme – to be aired on Friday – that he has already held face-to-face meetings with senior members of the Taliban.
“I have had personal meetings with some Taliban leaders and my colleagues from my government have had some meetings in and outside Afghanistan with the Taliban,” he told Al Jazeera’s David Frost.
“These have mostly been unofficial after contact was initiated, countryman to countryman talks. But now is the time for us to begin to talk with the Taliban at a fixed address and with a more open agenda to tell us how to bring peace to Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
The Taliban has publicly denied that its leaders are in talks, and on Wednesday the group again denied it is holding peace talks with the Afghan government.
In a statement the Taliban said that Karzai’s claims that such talks are being held are “baseless propaganda”.
Al Jazeera Sue Turton, reporting from the Afghan capital, Kabul, said it has been very difficult for senior Taliban leaders based in Pakistan to move around, and therefore the Karzai government has resorted to talking to leaders in Afghanistan.
“It’s mainly been about talking about talks, but if the Taliban want to talk further, the Afghan government says they must abide by its three conditions – the laying down of arms, to cut ties with al-Qaeda, and to respect the Afghan constitution, particularly human rights.”
Nato deaths
Meanwhile, Nato said seven foreign troops have been killed in four separate attacks across Afghanistan on Thursday.
Thursday’s deaths brought to 588 the number of foreign soldiers killed this year, eclipsing the previous record of 521 in 2009, according to the AFP news agency.
At least 35 foreign soldiers have died in Afghanistan this month alone.
The surge in military deaths has followed the deployment of about 40,000 extra US and Nato troops under a White House strategy designed to clear major towns and cities of the Taliban and restore confidence in the government.

Pakistan says it is ready to help Taliban talks with Afghanistan government
Pakistan said on Friday it was
ready to help to ease peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban in order to secure stability throughout south Asia.

Hamid Karzai in tears as he spoke recently about fears that violence would force his son to flee the country.
Talks with the Taliban seem to gathering pace.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the foreign minister, was speaking in Brussels ahead of a conference on promoting economic development in Pakistan.
He said a peaceful Afghanistan would be in Pakistan’s interests, and that any process would be led by the Afghan people. “They have to own it, they have to lead it.
We are there to help.”
His remarks come amid signs that talks with the Taliban are picking up the pace. Although the Afghan Taliban rejected media reports that they were in secret negotiations with the Afghan government of Hamid Karzai, a senior Nato official said on Wednesday that Nato had already facilitated contacts between Kabul and Taliban figures, and helped to provide safe passage into Kabul.
The US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, added on Friday that moves from Taliban associates to talk to Kabul did “not constitute an offer of negotiations, or formal negotiations.” He told a separate press conference at the talks that they “fall into the category of reinsertion,” or renouncing arms and seeking to reintegrate.
But he maintained that this process was “beginning to pick up a bit of momentum.”
Afghan and American officials insist a peace deal is still only a distant possibility, although the prospect is drawing increased attention before the US starts withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next July.
Afghanistan’s government has long been suspicious of Islamabad’s role in the region, mindful of Pakistan’s support for the Taliban when it was in power and continuing allegations that its security services retain links to insurgents based along the border.
Pakistan is nervous of its regional rival India building a presence in Afghanistan. Some analysts suspect that Islamabad, though a Nato ally in the fight against the Taliban and al-Qaeda, is playing a double game by continuing to foster relationships with extremists in the hope of winning influence should the Taliban reach a deal with Mr Karzai.
