The remaining force could include several tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers

Afghan officials say they expect the deal with ray ban oakley the United States to include the number of U.S. troops permitted to remain in Afghanistan beyond 2014; the number of bases where troops will be located, and who will control them; what those troops can and can't do and legal immunities for those soldiers. Talks on the security agreement, which have not begun, follow the conclusion of another bilateral deal outlining the two countries' future ties, which U.S. President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai signed in Kabul in May. This time, negotiators must tackle some of the most sensitive issues that were ultimately excluded from the first deal, even as many Afghans, and Karzai himself, chafe against a foreign troop presence that has lasted more than a decade. If such talks failed, the United States 0akley would be forced to pull out a force now numbering 90,000 by the end of 2014, when NATO nations are due to remove most troops, despite few signs that a resilient Taliban insurgency will soon die out. Aimal Faizi, chief spokesman for Karzai, said the agreement, which is supposed to be finished by next May, would focus on the "nature, scope and obligations" of the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan after 2014. "Both sides will start talking based on these three areas," Faizi told Reuters. It's not known how many U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan will stay behind after the end of 2014. The remaining force could include several tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers, likely focusing on special forces operations targeting al Qaeda and cheap mac makeup other militants, advising Afghanistan's inexperienced military, and retain the ability to launch U.S. drones that target militants in neighboring Pakistan. "The security agreement will touch upon the most contentious issues that have had times strained the relationship between the two countries - so I expect that these will take a very long time," said Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank. Long-standing Afghan demands to subject foreign soldiers to local law may be the main stumbling block for negotiations. A HARDER LINE? Whether, and when, a U.S. soldier might be tried in a local court was perhaps the most contentious issue when the United States hammered out a similar deal in 2008 with Iraq. Ultimately, the deal allowed Iraq to try U.S. soldiers for "grave" crimes committed off-duty, and off base top mac blushes. As in Iraq, foremost in the mind of Afghan negotiators will likely be past missteps or abuse by American soldiers, along with years of civilian deaths that have occurred during NATO military operations. A series of scandals involving American soldiers this year culminated in March when a U.S. staff sergeant is alleged to have walked off his base and shot at least 16 villagers in their homes. The soldier accused in that case, Robert Bales, was whisked out of Afghanistan and is facing military trial in the United States.

Dorothy Sandusky described how she raised five children

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - She's the mother of six, grandmother to 12, a caring neighbor and churchgoer - and, perhaps, the wife of a monster. Dorothy "Dottie" Sandusky, 69 Discount Mac Mineralize Blush Fard A Joues Outlet, playfully nicknamed "Sarge" for her rules-first demeanor, has become an object of fascination, the longtime, steadfast spouse of one of the most reviled men in America. On Tuesday, she took the stand with a quick step, smartly dressed in a lime-green shirt, her frosted blond-gray hair carefully coiffed, to speak up for her husband, Jerry, who is on trial on charges that he molested 12 boys during a 15-year period. He never took his eyes off her as she spoke, his elbow on the defense table and his chin in his hand. On the stand, Dorothy Sandusky described how she raised five children and now lovingly helps care for 12 grandchildren, with a 13th on the way. Her house in State College, home to Pennsylvania State University, where her husband coached football, was always full of children, her own and others. Some stayed overnight. A number of the eight accusers stayed at the home over the years, she said, but she never saw her husband inappropriately touch any of the boys, who are now men Wholesale Top MAC 222 Tapered Blending Brush. Sandusky never got to say what she thought of the damning victim testimony against her husband, the man to whom she has been married nearly 46 years, because she was never asked. But when prosecutor Joseph McGettigan III stepped forward for cross-examination, she fixed him with a stare that made clear where her loyalties lie. Others have described her husband as being, before the charges were lodged, an inspiration, a motivator, a religious man, a family man, a man who gave of himself to friends and to children. His wife did not reach for those superlatives. Instead, she spoke directly and calmly, not about who he was, but about what he did: Opened his home. Opened his heart. During impossibly busy Penn State football seasons, he made sure he got home to have dinner with the family, then continued working upstairs. He took young people to football games, and after he retired from Penn State in 1999, he devoted even more time to his Second Mile charity for troubled youths - where prosecutors say he met some of his victims. She said her husband tried to help children. He tried to help the boys about whom, it seemed, she could say much but, instead, said little, describing one as having "his problems . . . very conniving." The Sanduskys live at the end of a cul-de-sac, in a tan home with a two-car garage and manicured lawn. No one answered the door Tuesday. But when Dottie Sandusky comes or goes, she drives past signs posted in her neighbors' yards in support of RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. "Support victims of sexual abuse," the signs say. "Get help. Get involved. Donate." Some people on the street had only kind words for her: A caring person. She made cookies and candy for the neighborhood children at Easter, even as the allegations swirled around her family. She regularly attended a Bible study group at her church, St. Paul's Methodist Church in State College buy oakley sunglasses for sale discount oakley-182 online $29 now. "She's been a good neighbor as long as she's been here," one man said. When the Sandusky children were young, she made sure they went to Sunday school, said longtime neighbor Clarence Trotter, 95, who now lives elsewhere but was back on Tuesday to tend a neighbor's garden. Other neighbors say they are increasingly unsure of what she may have heard or known, particularly given the statements of several alleged victims that she was in the house when abuse occurred.
