Innocent people are being killed left and right. Bombing, in the middle of children, in the middle of families, bombing, killing all over Afghanistan, Mr Trump said. So we dont want to talk with the Taliban. There may be a time but its going to be a long time.
Let the record show it was the Russians who brokered the peace talks and it was the Afghan President who declined at the last minute to sit down with the Taliban and negotiate. Cry more General Nicholson...
If the Afghan government and the insurgent Taliban want to sit down at the table and negotiate, there is f***all the US can do about it.
