There is no need for a "several thousand" troops to strike targets in the mountainous regions. That can be done from an aircraft carrier or whatever.
Joe Biden is for a permanent presence in Afghanistan for no reason at all and would be putting troops in harms way
Cute Even goebbels would be proud of cbs.
C-Bull-S just going lower and lower on the totem pole.
So the Taliban agree with millions of Americans.
Taliban are more sensible than lib/neocon lunatics.
Biden has Russia and China in his corner, so he “wins” the foreign antagonist vote.
Having troops still there and a taliban still capable of issuing statements after 20 freaking years is the ultimate testimony in favor of withdrawing troops from futile missions.
you completely missed the point of the article that you posted.
it was done to make Trump look bad.
How could you not see that?
And Trump did kick the hell out of isis over there. And then just left the troops that were necessary
Guys like you scare me. You make it sound like there is never ever a need for the military anywhere at any time.
Sometimes there is.
Where the Taliban goes look for the New York Times to follow. Perhaps the Times will endorse Trump. NOT.
I could not care less that the taliban murder their way through Afghanistan. No more American lives for endless wars.
However, I have no issues selling arms and supplies to the Afghanistan government so that afghanis can fight their own wars.

Wow, Viacom promoting foreign wars.
FOAD, Viacom.
Joe Biden has a plan to get us out of Viet Nam. He still remembers being in Cambodia on Christmas with Corn Pop.
Why is this any less fake news than all the other crap we hear from the media? Again no names just a mention of “Taliban leaders”.
More bullshit and yet it’s treated as a legitimate story.
How queer. And the Islamonazis didn’t support Obama’s plans to withdraw our troops from Iraq?
Nobody cares, Code Pink should certainly agree with the Taliban if that’s the measure.
The Taliban are Betraying Trump’s Peace Deal

While Mr Trump has fulfilled his side of the bargain by overseeing a significant reduction in America’s military presence from 9,000 to 4,500 troops since the deal was signed, the Taliban has been less forthcoming in terms of honouring its side of the deal.
The upsurge in Taliban violence certainly raises significant questions about whether Afghanistan’s security forces will be able to defend the country once American forces have been withdrawn, with US forces due to be reduced to 2,500 by early next year.
There are also concerns that, if the Taliban succeeds in seizing control of large swathes of the country, they could allow Islamist terror groups like Al-Qaeda to return and use the country as a base from which to launch attacks against the West — the initial cause of America’s military intervention following the September 11 attacks.
The fear now is that, if Mr Trump and his senior advisors are no longer in a position to conclude the peace deal he negotiated earlier in the year, then the Taliban will simply take matters into their own hands and seize control of the country by force.

Going forward what type of young man would volunteer to join the Army to support this fraudulent puppet regime? Certainly no patriot would do that.
