Pull-out from Afghanistan by end of 2016 -- Defense Secretary to re-consider (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT)

No decisions have been made, but President Barack Obama will discuss a range of options for slowing the U.S. military exit when Afghan President Ashraf Ghani visits the White House next month, Ash Carter said at a joint news conference with Ghani at the Presidential Palace.
The "common denominator" in the new thinking about the U.S. military mission is a belief in Washington that the formation of a unity government in Kabul last year has opened new possibilities for progress not only on the political front but also in the security arena, Carter said.
