The United States has reached a tentative agreement with Afghanistan that could maintain an American military presence in the country through 2024.
President Obama sent a letter to President Karzai yesterday that said, in part, "America's role in Afghanistan will be one of a supporting partner."

He also said the new agreement should be signed after next year's elections.
