From Fox News:
President Obama pledged that Afghanistan will no longer “be a source of terrorist attacks again,” a week before the U.S. is set to end its combat mission in the Middle Eastern nation.
“We’ve been in continuous war now for over 13 years. Next week we will be ending our combat mission in Afghanistan,” Obama told troops in Hawaii late Thursday, celebrating Christmas.
“Because of the extraordinary service of the men and women in the armed forces, Afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country,” he said. "We are safer. It’s not going to be a source of terrorist attacks again.”
Though the American combat mission in Afghanistan is nearly completed, at least some troops are scheduled to stay in the nation until the end of 2016.

Didn't Obama say ISIS is a JV team and that Iraq would be peaceful when the U.S. pulled out?
Yeah, his predictions on most everything pretty much don't come true.
Sadly, Afghanistan probably will go the way of parts of Iraq and after the Soviet Union left Afghanistan in the 1980's.
