What a joke.
17 years, thousands of coalition troop lives lost, many more civilians killed and maimed, hundreds of billions of our taxpayer dollars wasted, and
now they want to have direct talks with the Taliban, the group that was supposedly destroyed by our military over 15 years ago?
Sickening.
This isn't an indictment against Trump, he inherited this mess. But what say you, patriotic war mongers, who felt we needed to keep wasting taxpayer dollars fighting these people until 'complete' victory is had?

The Trump administration has told its top diplomats to seek direct talks with the Taliban, a significant shift in American policy in Afghanistan, done in the hope of jump-starting negotiations to end the 17-year war.
The Taliban have long said they will first discuss peace only with the Americans, who toppled their regime in Afghanistan in 2001. But the United States has mostly insisted that the Afghan government must take part.
