15 to 20 months is too long. There are only 10,000 US troops, and there is no reason as to why they can't start to withdraw immediately. I think there is an ulterior sinister motive here. I believe US is waiting for a Pakistan - India war. A Pakistan busy with a war with india would not be in a position to help Taliban, and this is when US will make its move.
On the contrary i think 15 to 20 months is quick. 19 years of war and leaving in 19 months is quick. Sudden withdrawal will cause problems and the US also dont want to be seen as defeated, the same way USSR troops left immediately. Taliban in past few years have diversified and do not fully depend on Pakistan help to fight, they mostly rely on Pakistan help to hide and protect their families. India is desperate because once US leaves and Afghanistan is in hold on taliban, kashmir will be the target of the elements who want to continue jihad.
