#4 They have no intention of abiding by their agreement

In fact it was obvious when they signed it without reading and went straight for the canapes.

#6 Perhaps a nearby large non-muslim-led country could take over a partnership with the Afghans to push back the Talibs and their Pak puppeteers?

#8 The intelligence community is undercutting Trump? No way! And they want the war to continue? Gosh, what a shocker.

The Afghan government is an acceptable price to pay to get out of Afghanistan. What's important is our objective. And our objective is to stop this ruinously expensive war that is completely unwinnable. We must think of ourselves and what we need. America first!
