I pray for President Trump to order the launch of a sustained air campaign, targeting every possible know or suspected Taliban location or areas, disregarding all possibility for collateral damages, with our entire range of munitions, including the most powerful ones that we have. May the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan rock and roll with our massive strikes. Day after day after day. Weeks, months . Until we literally run out of inventory. This should be our message ; you continue to defy us we will totally annialate you. Then DO IT. The Pak border should offer no refuge either.

That’s what should have been done 18 years ago with not one boot on the ground.

They did an attack that killed an American the same day they were scheduled to have “peace talks” with Trump.

He was absolutely right to cancel it.

You’ve got the right idea. It’s either bomb them back into tomorrow, or get the hell out. Bush II had that bombing option. And the public was with him. But Bush instead chose fancy nation-building.

Trump now has the bombing option. But the times have changed. So Afghanistan must end as Vietnam did. With the rebels pouring into the capital as US helicopters evacuate personnel from the embassy roof.

That will happen, sooner or later. And it will all be on Bush II. Don’t blame Obama, or Trump. Just like Vietnam is all on LBJ. Don’t blame Nixon, or Ford.

Pompeo dismissed the statement as being said by a Taliban nobody.

These Pakistani and Afghan pieces of crap don’t deserve any dialog with the President. We should tactical nuke all of their suspected places so the place is uninhabitable for the next millennium. We owe the demon possessed Muslim bastards nothing and the quicker we just kill them the better off the world will be.

Obviously the men they were negotiating with had no pull or the attacks wouldn’t happen. Why deal with a bunch of powerless fakers. When some who controls the jihadists want to negotiate then talk, in the meantime the bombing should resume

Which administration official thought it would be good idea to plan a meeting with the Taliban on US soil during the week of 9/11?

Just document where they are so we’ll know where to drop the nukes if they attack us later.

Taliban nobody? Sounds a little redundant.

The trillions spent over the years in Afghanistan could have built an impenetrable wall around the entire country to keep the ravaging rapscallion corralled.
