US general: Political talks with Taliban are key part of endgame in Afghan war'I don't think I believed that 17 years, going on 18 years, that we'd still be in Afghanistan...and I certainly didn't see myself as a commander of Afghanistan,' Army Gen. Scott Miller tells DavidMuir. DavidMuir I don't know why being in Afghanistan after 17 years is that much of a surprise. We are still in South Korea after 66 years. And just like it would be a mistake to pull troops out of South Korea, it is a mistake to pull troops out of Afghanistan. The Taliban is still a threat. DavidMuir Why are you doing real news? Aren’t you supposed to be “anti-trump”. 24/7? If you keep up interviews like this I’ll actually have to make you a preset channel. DavidMuir And Drumpf says we need to strengthen our military. We need to give them a well deserved rest. Some fights aren’t worth the price, in cash or lives. DopeyDoofusDrumpf

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

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

Major Obstacles Remain to Afghan Peace, U.S. Envoy SaysZalmay Khalilzad, outlined two major sticking points between the U.S. and the Taliban, including the terms of a cease-fire and talks with the Afghan government. The U.S. negotiating with terrorists? Terms? The Taliban has to disband and they have to promise not to have children. The Pakistani ISI must leave Afghanistan and take their Pakistani Pashtuns with them. Those are the only terms. Just pull out already, the Tajiks can take care of themselves.
