>> This is a big win for the swamp.
Nonsense. Either you didn’t comprehend the speech or you believe Trump is lying.
Go read up on the "LONE WOLVES" in Germany; for starters.
Read Secretary Tillerson's full statement on the new integrated strategy for the U.S. approach to South Asia:
This evening, President Trump announced the new integrated strategy for the U.S. approach to South Asia that will require diplomatically engaging Pakistan, Afghanistan and India to create the conditions for stability in the region.
This new strategy signals clear support for the Afghan people and government. We will continue to support the Afghan government and security forces in their fight against terrorists and prevent the reestablishment of safe havens in the country.
Our new strategy breaks from previous approaches that set artificial calendar-based deadlines. We are making clear to the Taliban that they will not win on the battlefield. The Taliban has a path to peace and political legitimacy through a negotiated political settlement to end the war.
We stand ready to support peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban without preconditions. We look to the international community, particularly Afghanistan’s neighbors, to join us in supporting an Afghan peace process.
Pakistan has suffered greatly from terrorism and can be an important partner in our shared goals of peace and stability in the region. We look to Pakistan to take decisive action against militant groups based in Pakistan that are a threat to the region. It is vital to U.S. interests that Afghanistan and Pakistan prevent terrorist sanctuaries.
India will be an important partner in the effort to ensure peace and stability in the region, and we welcome its role in supporting Afghanistan’s political and economic modernization.
I know exactly what you’re talking about. This has been so much fun.... generally I have to go to a nursing home to have these type of conversations. You have a nice evening. I have a 7 AM Tee Time tomorrow morning. Have a nice night!
It is great to see you giving some of the idiots around here hell. Put a big old smile on my face!
I missed the speech tonight due to other commitments, but trust the President implicitly. You know between the knife wielding media, a traitorous Republican Congress, and the insanity running rampant at times here, I don’t see how he does it. Any one of us after five minutes would take our sacred principals, say screw it, and go home. Thank God for Donald Trump.
Why give them a heads-up? We don't know what his plans are. We'll all find out after it happens, which will make the media very upset.
"CRYING"??? You need to stop projecting; lovey.
“My deal is this decision sucks and not happy about it....”
Yeah? Well, tell you what, sparky - you go right ahead and run for POTUS in 2020 ... So you can impress us all with your great wisdom.
Speak for yourself. "We" haven't been had. President Trump is doing remarkable things.
He is everything I voted for, and so many people still can't believe he won.
I don't live in a nursing home, haven't lost any of my facilities, and if you manage to live to be 100, you just be a pathetic, stupid, somewhat older you. Bless your heart....
Go back to DU - they miss you.
And a big old AMEN to the rest of what you wrote about our president! You put a smile on my face! :-)
All the sock puppets came out of the drawer at the same time too!
“This thread should have been one of congratulations for our president. It’s been turned into something else by a very few posters, all of them emotional little snowflakes.”

What you are saying is that everyone should agree with you.
Being in total agreement over everything would make this a very dull place.
.
Whatever promises Trump made on the campaign trail.....we can't afford to ignore the recent partnerships growing between ISIS and the Taliban, nor what would happen if our withdrawal opened the door for Iran and Russia to move in. If I remember correctly, Iran has already offered the Afghanistan government a security guarantee.
Hard to believe we’ll be celebrating our 20th next year. Never guessed back then my love-hate relationship with FR would outlast my marriage. HA!
Methodists do NOT “tithe”; so why don’t you just toddle off to beddy-byes and get someone to change your diaper; you stink.
Eddie Munster needs a blanket party more than any other cuck in D.C. This snot-nosed weaselly little coward needs a mega smack-down. Are all Wisconsinites this damn stupid?
This thread should have stuck to what the president said; instead a very few posters decided to post factless, overtly emotional, hyperbolic, pathetically uneducated screeds based on their own preconceived imaginings re what was actually said and/or what the speech meant.
Thanks...appreciate the link.
