1)You are right that its unending war and U.S dint came here to solve this issue.They are here for few time and going to withdraw 85% or more its force.Why should they let their soldier killed?ANA will fall or not ..its just thinking ..no bosy can say about it coz ANA is basically force of northern alliance and they are anti taliban.This is wat m saying that U.S will use this force against taliban and may be pakistan with backing of airforce or drones etc ..but ground role of U.S forces is almost finished after 2014.
and regarding to killing of U.S soldiers by afghans,they are varios factors which made them to do so ..
U.S forces insults afghans,their women and abuse them even ...and may other cases too ..
dont look from same angle every time ,there are many factors ...
2)Look,presently U.S dont have options and they cant stay here due to cost.They have plans to stay here for long atleast for decade and for it,they will have to bring parties and they will have to fulfill their demands.so U.S is inviting them coz they want peace or settlement so that they can go easily from here and manage to stay here after 2014 by keeping few forces and dont forget that they use ur route and NDN is not functional properly.if U.S goes on fighting then they wont be able to go from here n will get involved in more war ...so their first priority is safe passage and they will have to give something to every party.
3) Yes,they are .
AS i said that talibans have realized that they cant control a-stan like before and they are on board to get something.
Situation of a-stan is not like before and you may see taliban party or role in govt but if you say that U.S will give every thing then forget abt it ...
i m following the news related to it ..they are having meetings in UAE
karzai will be removed after 2014.
U.S must have given something to pakistan otherwise pakistan wont help.
and areas near to pakistan border will be given to taliban for rule.
but U.S wont go fully.They will keep 15000-20k force there.
you sure about that because @ the moment the option has been scale to between 3k to 9k or even a complete withdrawal
just for your enjoyment

That complete withdrawal is not likely. For one thing there will remain US Airbases in Afghanistan. While troops on the ground will also be concentrated in Cantonment like areas. Some how the portents of "Plan B" are surfacing.

Exactly, the US can never cut and run from Afghanistan, it cannot afford to. Obama key bal waisey he grey nahi hoon gai!
@RescueRanger,
RR, may I put forward a 'contrapuntal view' (atleast to many people here): that the continued presence of the US (maybe in reduced numbers) can be helpful to Pakistan.
I'll just say that much for now......
What is your take on that? Then I'll amplify my point.
Actually i have always said, that a US presence across the border is better for Pakistan. We have all the cards atm, we make a a good amount of money from the containers and routes, not to mention there is now a booming market in High Risk Haulage, carriers like APL and Move One have made offices in Karachi and charter airlines have set up office in Isbd and Karachi. All this adds to the economy and provides jobs etc.
Then comes the the fact that whilst there is a active US presence in Afghanistan, it relives some pressure from Pak Army. Until the US are in Afghanistan, also since they need Pak for negotiations, we can later on in the year bring up issues to the table, issues like Shamsi airbase etc.
Politically this is good mileage for the parties in the country and spices up the bland nonsense of local fiscal matters, policies and governance. Furthermore, it would serve Pakistan to keep the US for as long in Afghanistan as possible ( i know this is a very selfish viewpoint) but it would be the ideal strategy.
Just my observation.
But on a serious note; what does Pakistan really expect to achieve from being on the driver's seat and the ride? Can any one, particularly from Pakistani point of view through some light on the issue?
Pakistan's policy worked. Impressed.
