They can get out of Afghanistan. Why are they there? Are they trying to build an Afghanistan in their own image? Are the Taliban Afghans? Can our allies arm the Afghans the way we did when they fought the Soviets? The Afghans are reputed to be these fierce fighters. They seem to lose their fierceness when big daddy America doesn't have their back.

A totally different topic then what's going on...

did you Know

In recent months, Washington has been trying to help launch a peace process between Kabul and the Taliban


Trump’s decision comes just days after senior U.S. officials met in Dubai with top representatives from the Taliban’s political office in Qatar and its Pakistan-based senior leadership. The insurgents would now enter any formal peace talks from a position of deep strength, because they’ve gotten the withdrawals they’ve always wanted without having to give up anything in return.

But but Bo bergdahl was a horrible deal .. maybe but compared to this its not a blip on the radar screen
