Obama's pathetically transparent attempt at bluffing Afghan "President" Hamid Karzai has been effectively confirmed by the Wall Street Journal. ["Military Hasn't Pursued Afghan 'Zero Option'" 1/18/13, p. A11.]
The article states that the Obama regime never asked the U.S. military for a scenario of a zero U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan after 2014. It did ask for plans for options with various troop levels after 2014 staying on. So obviously Obama never had any intention of actually withdrawing all troops.
He did get Karzai to sort of kind of agree to immunize U.S. troops for their crimes under Afghan law, somewhat. It's all rather vague. (Isn't it always when dealing with con men hustlers in their bazaar stalls?)
