New Agreement with Afghanistan would still allow U.S. led night raids and drone attacks on Pakistan.

   The wording of the new Strategic Partnership Agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan governing relations between the two countries after 2014 has deceptive wording. When deciphered in spite of what the Karzai government claims the U.S. could conduct its own night raids without Afghan supervision and also drone raids could be continued against Pakistan.
  For drone raids see this article.  The MOU (Memorandum of Understanding)  prohibits offensive drone raids against another country after 2014 when the agreement comes into effect. However this not prohibit offensive or defensive raids within Afghanistan. Defensive raids in Pakistan would also be allowed. All the U.S. need do is claim that the raids in Pakistan are defensive and hence continues the raids as it has up to now.
  For night raids see this article. The night raids covered under the MOU are just those reported by the U.S. to an Afghan co-ordination group. This allows the U.S. to still carry on independent night raids on its own. The practice has been to have more Afghan led raids and the agreement simply codifies the present practice and makes them subject to Afghan judicial oversight. For much more detail see this article.

Afghan night raid deal may be largely symbolic

According to the title of an article by Chris Carroll in Stars and Stripes it largely is. Of course the Pentagon will not issue an official statement to this effect!

The agreement will have the effect of easing relations between the Afghan government and the U.S. and NATO forces at a time when tensions were building over a number of issues. Certainly night raids was one of those issues

The new agreement gives the Afghan government and judiciary considerable say in their operation at least on paper. Karzai would even have veto power over them and an Afghan judge would need to provide a warrant.

As usual the devil is in the details. The agreement covers only "special operations". These are joint Afghan-U.S. operations approved by Afghan security and also judicial officials. This leaves room for other operations that are outside this definition.

A specialist at the Heritage Foundation noted:“It defines it fairly narrowly, and leaves open the possibility of a counter terrorism raid conducted by a CIA paramilitary group or other unit,” Defense Dept. officials refused to answer questions about unilateral raids!

Rick Nelson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said:“If there’s a threat to the homeland, the United States always reserves the ability to act unilaterally,” said Rick “Ozzie“The rhetoric may not line up with that, however, because we have the need for an agreement with the Afghan government beyond 2014."" Karzai long demanded that Afghans have control over the raids and this agreement seems to give them that.

One other note. Although warrants are needed for the raids. The warrants can be obtained after rather than before the raids if necessary. For more see the full article or another article here.

In 2011 there were about 2000 night raids. Expect the U.S to stay for years in Afghanistan after 2014 but with smaller numbers and extensive use of special forces and night raids along with Afghans.
