Taliban invites GOP senator for ‘mutual talks’ in Doha

[PRESSTV] Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
has invited a US senator for "mutual talks" in the Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
i capital Doha, where the so-called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has an office.

The terror group’s social media accounts extended the invitation to Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul over his latest comments about the United States’ long war in Afghanistan, The Washington Times reported Sunday.

"We invite the respectable US Senator Rand Paul, in his official capacity to visit our political office in Doha for mutual talks," read a Twitter post by the self-declared Information Committee of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

It further suggested that the US should withdraw its forces from the war-ravaged country for peace to emerge.

"We’ll prove to Mr. Rand Paul, the immediate US withdrawal from [Afghanistan] will bring peace to our country & will enhance international security," the group added in the social media post.

’No US victory in Afghanistan’
The Kentucky politician had criticized investment in the war on Afghanistan during an interview with Fox News on Thursday.

"The war in Afghanistan is costing us $50 billion a year... It’s time to come home. There is no military victory there," Paul said.

On August 21, Trump announced he would prolong the military intervention in Afghanistan.

The United States -- under Republican George W. Bush’s presidency -- and its allies invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror.

#2  Sen. Paul should think twice before accepting an invitation for talks in a country ruled by Islamists. Insult their religion and it's off with your head!

#1  "for Afghans, duping well-meaning but ignorant foreigners into funding their wars is the national pastime. The artistry and skill of separating foreigners from their money has been passed down from fathers to sons among regional tribal elders and modern-day politicians for millennia. Simply stated, this is what they do."
