Afghan contract

After completion of the latest ICAO meeting in Turkey the info seems to point to a contract extension being offered to IAP by NATO/ISAF and the USAF possibly via State Department.
It goes on to say that the NATO/US intra agency agreements have been signed so that a contract extension for IAP of between 3 and 9 months will occur within days.
Trust me the Afghans will need all of 9 months and more to get this sorted as they have been going at it now for almost 2 years and still nothing. This way they keep their airspace open, they rake in about $40 million USD pa and are still not paying for it.
I personally believe that this will go on well into next year and possibly 2016 before NATO and US will be jack of it.

For now IAP will be in situ for at least next 9 -12 months, so forget Claymores, GAL and anyone else for now.
