As it currently stands, there are two major problems. The first one is that the current Afghan army is certainly not ready to handle a Taliban re-invasion from Waziristan (northwest Pakistan) and needs more time to prepare a strong resistance to this form of Jihadism. The second one is that the US government has repeatedly undercut the mission that the US soldiers are allowed to perform in order to modernize, Westernize, and develop Afghanistan so that it can have a strong economy and a strong military.
As a result, the US Military in Afghanistan is in more-or-less a holding pattern. They are making no serious improvements to Afghanistan in order to make the country really ready for a Taliban re-invasion, so keeping the US troops there is simply delaying this eventual war. The question is whether or not you find it easier to have a slow attrition of US troops in Afghanistan, but a maintenance of the status quo, or you find it better to withdraw the US, have Afghanistan become a quagmire where Islamists and Jihadist will have a new base of power (similar to the situation in Iraq).

Iraq is moot point in this campaign since there are no longer American troops there. When it was announced that the U.S. troops were departing in late 2011, Romney objected to their departure. As concerns the continuing War in Afghanistan, he does believe that we should stay the course in Afghanistan, but this is not a contentious issue in the election since Obama also believes we should stay the course.
