Afghan officials: Taliban kill 11 policemen, 10 othersKABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban killed at least 21 people in their latest attacks in Afghanistan, including 11 policemen who were slain when the insurgents stormed a checkpoint in northern Baghlan province, provincial officials said Tuesday. The attacks were reported as representatives of the Taliban were to hold meetings in Moscow with prominent Afghan figures, including former President Hamid Karzai, opposition leaders and tribal elders — but not Kabul government officials. So much for the US n Taliban negotiations. What about the peace talks? Let them kill each other so we can bring all of our troops home to their loved ones

Top Pentagon official in Afghanistan amid push for peaceKABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Pentagon's top official has arrived in Afghanistan to meet with U.S. commanders and Afghan leaders amid a push for peace with the Taliban. The unannounced visit is the first for the acting secretary of defense, Pat Shanahan. He previously was the No. 2 official under Jim Mattis, who resigned as defense chief in December. Shanahan told reporters traveling with him that he wants to stress to the Afghans that they must ultimately decide their own future, including how any peace is achieved with the Taliban. Peace with the Taliban? Imagine dying for a cause based on false intelligence only for your side to make peace with who they told you was the enemy. Shame on you war makers. Regardless of the outcome, there will never be 'peace' in WARLORD-RULED Afghanistan because the ruling elite routinely employ terror and calculated sectarian violence to control the masses. 2.0

Democrats: Afghan peace talks must include womenDemocratic senators are urging the Trump administration to ensure that Afghan women are included and prioritized in peace negotiations with the Taliban Why? If they want women's rights in Afghanistan, we can't withdraw and let the Taliban run it. You have to pick. Either the Taliban runs Afghanistan, and one of the most repressive organizations on Earth towards women as *the government*, or we continue to fight in our longest war. That's an easy way to end peace talks in that part of the world
