How Long Will US Troops Stay in Afghanistan? How Many?

At today's meeting of 2500 elders, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said, "I don't trust the Americans and they don't trust me." Has he changed his mind about the troop deal confirmed just yesterday by Secretary of State John Kerry? Also, by "detonating" the nuclear option, the Senate changes the rules on filibuster. On today's Talking Point, the first women to complete combat training graduated today, but they won't see front-line action any time soon.
