All U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan under peace deal

The United States is set to sign a historic peace deal with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, Saturday that officials hope will mark the beginning of the end of America’s longest war. Under the deal, all U.S. troops would withdraw from Afghanistan in 14 months if the Taliban meet their commitments.

Ahead of the signing, U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper flew to Kabul, Afghanistan, to appear beside Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for a joint declaration. But the agreement is only the first step to an enduring peace for the war-torn country. The U.S. withdrawal hinges on the Taliban’s fulfillment of major commitments that have hobbled peace agreements in the past, including breaking with al Qaeda, the Islamic State and other terrorist groups, Esper said. It is also dependent on difficult negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government over power-sharing and a lasting cease-fire.

So why is the MSM effectively ignoring this? Rhetorical question. We know why.

And politico piles on... Another US Media being horrible irresponsible: touting a resolution that accomplishes nothing more than a MAGA fever dream that will destroy the lives of women & girls in Afghanistan and isn’t even close to workable or proven for the long haul.

Negotiated by Trump ? It won’t last !

This is a success? 19 years after trying to oust the Taliban the US is signing an agreement with THE Taliban. The Russians took half as long to figure that out.

Caution! Staged diplomacy!

Trump ended the Never-Ending War.

Will trump and allies describe this as being political?

Quite funny that all the no war people are now for endless war.....and only because who is President

How many USA soldiers dead in afghanistan peace keeping mission ? , Why lost him soldiers ?, Oh great country USA !!

The Trump card for reelection.

TRUMP THE DOVE!

I'll believe it when the troops are actually brought home.

14 months...I’ll believe it when I see it. This smells like a 2020 stunt at this point.

I hope this works. But it's hard to believe anything coming from this administration.

Exit is an election lie for Trump! Rest assured that this exit will be post-election planned. After the election, the deal disappears like JCPOA. It is time to leave Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Otherwise,like Ein_ElAssad, the group will exit horizontally & the rest vertically!
