This has been the Kenya Muslim’s plan all along. Increase troop strength in Afghanistan. Claim that Al Qaeda is the enemy, not the Taliban. Declare Al Qaeda defeated and claim victory. Withdraw troops and install the Taliban as at least a partial solution in a coalition government.
It is his plan. A few months ago I read in an India newspaper the administrations plan is to give money to the Taliban to put down their weapons. Buy them off.. Yeah this will work!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a fool
