    Peace talks between US and the Taliban end without agreement.....

    Talks between the US and the Taliban ended Monday without an agreement that would end America’s longest war as both sides said they would have to consult with leadership on the next steps.


    The negotiations, held since last year in Qatar, sought a deal in which the US would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in exchange for the Taliban guaranteeing they wouldn’t allow the country to once again become a base for Islamic militants.


    We prolonged our meeting with the hope of reaching a peace agreement but it could not happen,” ​a member of the Taliban negotiating team told Reuters, asking to remain anonymous. “We discussed a number of issues and developed consensus on some of them but couldn’t reach a conclusion​.”

    ​Without an agreement from the Taliban, US officials believed removing the military presence would give the group free rein to try to overthrow the Afghan government.


    ​Even as talks were underway, the Taliban continued to carry out attacks across Afghanistan, targeting Afghan forces and government officials.


    More than 2,400 US service members have died fighting in Afghanistan since.....snip~

    Expect the usual.....US at fault or Trump. All the Taliban had to agree to was not allow Islamic Militants to set up bases and operate out of Afghanistan.


    Although I didn't hear of any cease fire. So there shouldn't be complaints about the warring continuing

    Bush, an anti-Communist gutless rich puke who committed capital treason by having his Daddy get him out of fighting the Communists, his hypocritical class's worst enemy, should have nuked Tora Bora to kill off Al Qaida, whom he let get away instead.

    He wasted time and working-class troops' lives fighting the Taliban. It's none of our business how they treat the mountain apes (By the way, "racism" is a rich snob's false-evil term showing how much they hate all other White people).

    We can easily obliterate any camps set up by international terrorists, so that's no reason for staying.

    The British, who won in Iraq within six months solely because they had no Chickenhawk snobs' Rules of Engagement, knew the Afghans a lot better than our sheltered elite ever will:

    "When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains
    And the women come out to cut up your remains
    Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
    And go to your God like a soldier"
    On the outside, trickling down on the Insiders

    We won't live free until the Democrats, and their voters, live in fear.

    It's a cut-and-paste country that should be partitioned among its neighbors, including even Iran and the Taliban's Pashtun.

    Encourage Islamic Civil War

    Iran and the Taliban are mortal enemies. We are lied to about some Moslem monolith, just as we were made scared and ignorant about the non-existent Communist one.

    Mao's feud with Stalin started in 1933. It wasn't until the 1972 visit by President Nixon that our incompetent State Department took advantage of it. Not that an intelligent person would recommend taking one side or the other. Spread disinformation to both sides in order to provoke an intramural bloodbath.
