Trump Says Taliban Peace Talks Have Resumed in Surprise Afghanistan Trip

TU Curmudgeon said:
OK, let me re-phrase that.

"Are you sure that the "government which will be in charge -once- _three months after the US leaves_" is actually NOT being included?
​

(Feel free to substitute "six" or "nine" for the "three".)

It'll be lucky to last three months.

Are you still cool with cutting a deal with the Tals, Vern?

You are only concerned with my opinion because you are desperately trying to deflect from your hypocrisy. that's actually a good sign AP. Most conservatives have long since stopped caring about integrity or hypocrisy. anyhoo, I'm glad you responded because I wanted to discuss this post some more.

I don't think this was Bush's strategy, but even if it was, that's doesn't excuse PBO for breaking bread with the bad guys.

this isn't just the run of the mill daily hypocrisy we get from conservatives. It's the "foaming at the mouth about deficits for 8 years then sitting quietly as republicans explode the deficit" variety. Trump isn't just "breaking bread" with the bad guys. He's literally crawling into bed with them. the way he slobbers over putin and kim is disgusting. And then factor in his "breaking bread" with the Taliban and you there sit with "golly, I don't agree". That's pretty low AP.

Well that's an interesting question. The Taliban hasn't been interested in talking to the current Afghan government, but if that changes during these new talks there might be some progress into a lasting peace. There is of course the distinct possibility it will be the Taliban running the show since they control the vast rural areas.

My read on the situation is that the Taliban isn't necessarily going to be taking any great objection to the current government of Afghanistan hiking off into a very comfortable (long-term) vacation at "The Retired Crooks, Oligarchs, Tyrants, and Dictators Resort" and wouldn't be checking the contents of the shipping crates of "Personal Clothing Items" very carefully.

I have been known to be wrong, but I'm prepared to bet my lunch money on that one.

You forgot the Saudi Prince. The prince had someone sawed up into little pieces...while that person was alive. And Trump defended the Prince.


From what I understand, many conservatives consider that no worse than Obama being polite to the Prince during a televised public meeting.

Which, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual question that you were actually asked.

There are approximately 1,800,000,000 Muslims in the world. Are you trying to tell me that ALL 1,800,000,000 of them are "America's Enemy"?

If so, is your "solution" to

  1. Eliminate Islam totally;
    *
  2. Eliminate all people who have any trace of "Muslim Blood"; or
    *
  3. Both 1. and 2. above?

I eagerly await you setting out your detailed program to implement "The Final Solution to the Muslim Problem".

What's your solution? Invade and conquer Saudi Arabia?

again, I'm not seeing you explode with anger. trump is doing worse things (things, plural) than what you accused President Obama of and you sit quietly.
