Wednesday, January 12, 2011; 2:08 AMKABUL - Vice President Biden on Tuesday pledged long-term American support for Afghanistan, offering a commitment to help the war-torn nation beyond the 2014 target both countries have set to have Afghans fully in charge of their own security.”
The headline implies a commitment to Afghanistan by the USA beyond 2014, but the Vice President also said:
"It is not our intention to govern or to nation-build," Biden said. "As President Karzai often points out, this is the responsibility of the Afghan people, and they are fully capable of it."
Yada, yada, yada.
