VP Biden recently stated that "the Taliban is not our enemy per se". What an idiot! How many of soldiers have been killed by these "friendlies"? Why is my son in Kabul dodging bullets. Are they shooting at us in fun. Their bullets don't kill they just sting a little? What are a few missing limbs between friends? How utterly and unbelievably ignorant and superbly arrogant.
It is rumored that the U.S. government and the Taliban are in secret negotiations without the input or knowledge of the Afghan government. What are they thinking. So we are secretly negotiating with an enemy of the U.S. to undermine the Afghan government that we helped install at the cost of hundreds od our soldiers? And how good are negotiated agreements that are done in secret. The US can never disclose exactly what they have promised for fear of alienating the Afghan government even more. So if no one knows what was agreed to then does either party have to abide by it. We'll never know because they won't be able to disclose the details of the agreement.
Is anyone at the controls of this runaway train?
