The Taliban wants to make a deal and we’re meeting with them and we’re saying it has to be a cease-fire, and they didn’t want to do a cease-fire and now they want to do a cease-fire - I believe it’ll probably work out that way,"

Total PR nothing less, Bush 2 did the same thing. President Bone Spur, Trump, wants to make sure the ground troops are on his side when it hits the fan and Trump makes himself president for life.

I suppose we should count ourselves lucky the fascist coup plotted against FDR never went off. Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler was tapped to lead the troops, but he turned them all in. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines s_Plot

I do not think you know just why we have troops in Afghanistan. It is not to fight the Taliban. We have troops there so that if the Pakistanis become more unreasonable than they currently are, we will be able to take out their nukes. ;)
